This lab explores the psychrometric properties of air under steady-state flow conditions. Using a heater, steam generator, and refrigeration unit, students modify the air's temperature and humidity and monitor changes with wet and dry bulb thermometers.
By analyzing these measurements on a psychrometric chart, students gain practical insight into air conditioning processes and key thermodynamic concepts related to humid air.
