A proper knowledge of psychrometrics is invaluable to any meteorologist, HVAC engineer or system designer, yet many new to these fields have little or no training in this fundamental discipline. This 274-page book is a thorough yet practical lifetime psychrometrics reference. Its 26 stand-alone chapters and 4 appendices begin with underlying fundamentals and end with a valuable 25 page section of FAQs and other information to help readers avoid common and not-so-common mistakes. It includes definitions of basic psychrometric terms, all algorithms required for psychrometric calculations, conversion factors, and comparative accuracy data for ideal gas calculations versus Hyland and Wexler NIST formulations. For history buffs the text includes biographical sketches of over 100 psychrometric pioneers and 20 early psychrometric charts. This book is useful to meteorologists, HVAC engineers or system designers as well as to engineering or design firms wishing to train employees on how to use psychrometrics in their work. It functions as a lifetime reference manual, a training text for those new to the field and as a refresher for those who use psychrometrics on a recurring basis. Library of Congress TX5-826-522.
