Enthalpy of Air Calculator
Enthalpy, a key thermodynamic property, is crucial for understanding the energy content of air. The enthalpy of air varies with temperature, pressure, and humidity. Below is a table summarizing the enthalpy values of dry air and moist air, covering different conditions:
Enthalpy of Air
Condition | Temperature (°C) | Relative Humidity (%) | Enthalpy of Dry Air (kJ/kg) | Enthalpy of Moist Air (kJ/kg) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dry Air | -30 | 0 | 91.83 | 91.83 | Based on specific heat capacity of dry air. |
0 | 0 | 100.00 | 100.00 | ||
20 | 0 | 83.33 | 83.33 | ||
40 | 0 | 104.40 | 104.40 | ||
100 | 0 | 267.50 | 267.50 | ||
Moist Air | 0 | 100 | 100.00 | 250.17 | Enthalpy increases due to latent heat. |
