Psychrometrics can be used to predict changes in the environment when the amount of heat and/or moisture in the air changes. Use of psychrometric analysis is also important to determine the volume flow rates of air to be pushed into the ducting system and the sizing of the major system components.
STANDARD AIR = .24 Specific Heat (BTU’s needed to raise 1 lb. 1 degree) SENSIBLE HEAT FORMULA (Furnaces): BTU/hr. – Specific Heat X Specific Density X 60 min./hr. = X CFM X ∆T
The Sensible Heat Formula: Q = C x M x ∆𝑇 Q= quantity of sensible heat in BTU/hr M= mass C= specific heat of material ∆𝑇= temp difference Applied to Standard Air Applied to Water (not glycol)
Online Air Specific Heat Calculator. The calculator below can be used to estimate the specific heat of air at constant volum or constant pressure and at given temperature and pressure. The output heat capacity is given as kJ/ (kmol*K), kJ/ (kg*K), kWh/ (kg*K), kcal/ (kg*K), Btu (IT)/ (mol*°R) and Btu (IT)/ (lb m *°R) Temperature.
