    Psychrometrics - SI and Imperial Enthelpies do not Convert?

    Hm, perhaps someone else can jump in as well? This is still not clear to me and I do not know if we have reached an answer yet. Pertaining to your questions: The data on the link is accurate. I have compared it to the 2009 ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook equations. It also matches psychrometric...

    Psychrometrics - SI and Imperial Enthelpies do not Convert?

    Thank you for the clarification on the definition of enthalpy, and thank you for your time in helping with this. However, I think we may have two different ideas of what my problem is. Let me throw in an example and a theoretical situation. Lets say that the source is the air in a single room...

    Psychrometrics - SI and Imperial Enthelpies do not Convert?

    That is my question, I am using them from a single source, just using equivalent SI and imperial units. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the enthalpy of the system equivalent to the total heat in the system. So, if I use completely equivalent SI and Imperial models then the total heat...

    Psychrometrics - SI and Imperial Enthelpies do not Convert?

    Hello, I am fairly new to using psychrometrics, so I am hoping that this is a fairly simple solution. I was going back through some old problems and wanted to spot check a few calculations. In the process I converted the units on one of the problems and the enthalpies were not matching up. I...

    Calculators Ti-89 Differing Answers from Integration

    I am running into an interesting problem on my ti-89 and was wondering if anyone could explain the reason for the following. I am attempting to solve the following: M=\int_{x}^{y}sin(\theta )*(r-a*cos(\theta ))d\theta r = 0.14 a = 0.09 where, x = 0 deg y = 120 deg The calculator gives me...

    Modeling Surface Water Temperature of a Pond

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep that in mind. However, I must do the calculation reguardless. I already have equations that I would like to use for the evaporation that take into account most of the parameters mentioned by shifty8, my problem is as an input I require the water...

    Modeling Surface Water Temperature of a Pond

    Clarification: I am not attempting to predict the weather, rather, I am trying to predict surface water temperatures of the pond based on collected climatological data (wind, humidity, etc.). I have data that has been acquired from an area approx. 1 mile away from the pond (roughly same...

    Modeling Surface Water Temperature of a Pond

    Hi all, I am currently working on a task which requires a decent model of evaporation rates from a pond. Water is deposited into the pond from a series of nozzles that spray droplets into the air over the pond. I have found some equations that I would like to use that model evaporation rates...
