Sec. 86.344-79  Humidity calculations.

    (a) The following abbreviations (and units) are used in this 
section:

BARO = barometric pressure (Pa)
H = specific humidity, (gm H2O/gm of dry air)
K = 0.6220 gm H2O/gm dry air
Mair = Molecular weight of air = 28.9645
MH2O = Molecular weight of water = 18.01534
PDB = Saturation vapor pressure of water at the dry bulb temperature 
(Pa)
PDP = saturation vapor pressure of water at the dewpoint temperature 
(Pa)
Pv = partial pressure of water vapor (Pa)
PWB = saturation vapor pressure of water at the wet bulb temperature 
(pa)
TDB = Dry bulb temperature ([deg]K)
TWB = Wet bulb temperature ([deg]K)
Y = Water-vapor volume concentration

    (b) The specific humidity on a dry basis of the intake air (H) is 
defined by equation (1).
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06OC93.240

    (c) The partial pressure of water vapor may be determined in two 
manners:
    (1) A dew point device may be used. In that case:

Pv=PDP

    (2) A wet-bulb, dry-bulb method may be used. In that case ``Ferrels 
equation'' (eq. (2)) is used.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06OC93.085

    (d)(1) The saturation vapor pressure (PWB) of water at the wet-bulb 
temperature is defined by equation (3) (Ref. Wexler and Greenspan, 
equation (23), National Bureau of Standards).
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06OC93.086

where:

PWB is in Pascals (Pa)
TWB = Web-bulb temperature ([deg]K)
B = - 12.150799
F0 = - 8.49922(10)\3\
F1 = - 7.4231865(10)\3\
F2 = 96.1635147
F3 = 2.4917646(10) -2
F4 = - 1.3160119(10) -5
F5 = - 1.1460454(10) -8
F6 = 2.1701289(10) -11
F7 = - 3.610258(10) -15
F8 = 3.8504519(10) -18
F9 = - 1.4317(10) -21

    (2) The table in Figure D79-5 may be used in lieu of equation (3).
    (e) The saturated vapor pressure of water at the dry-bulb 
temperature (PDB) is found (if required) by using dry-bulb absolute 
temperature ([deg]K) in equation (3).
    (f) The percent of relative humidity (RH) (if required) is defined 
by equation (4).
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06OC93.087

    (g) The water-vapor volume concentration on a dry basis of the 
engine intake air (Y) is defined by equation (5).
