Calculate Adiabatic Saturation Temperature (Td)



Formula

The formula to calculate the adiabatic saturation temperature is:

\[ T_d = T_w + \frac{(100 - RH)}{5} \]

Where:

What is Adiabatic Saturation Temperature?

Adiabatic saturation temperature is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture when it is cooled adiabatically, meaning without any heat exchange with the environment. This concept is important in meteorology and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, as it helps in understanding the moisture content and thermal properties of air.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the adiabatic saturation temperature:

\[ T_d = 20 + \frac{(100 - 60)}{5} = 28 \text{ °C} \]

The adiabatic saturation temperature is 28 °C.
