what is a pschycometric chart and how to use it?

Answer Posted / sandy

Psychrometrics or psychrometry are terms used to describe
the field of engineering concerned with the determination
of physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor
mixtures.

A psychrometric chart is a graph of the thermodynamic
properties of moist air at a constant pressure.

In the ω-t chart, the dry bulb temperature (DBT) t appears
as the abscissa (horizontal axis) and the humidity ratio
(ω) appear as the ordinate (vertical axis). A chart is
valid for a given air pressure (or elevation above sea
level). From any two of the six independent properties
(DBT, WBT, RH, humidity ratio, specific enthalpy, and
specific volume), the balance of the six can be reckoned.

MY generator water cooler inlet line height - 11 mtr inlet water line height - 7 mtr water come into the line from overhead tank, O/H tank height - 20 mtr the first tapping in the inlet line is 2" line which down to 4 mtr level plateform., second tapping in inlet water line goes to a pump 6" line installed at 4 mtr level plateform, pump capacity 200m3/hr, head- 30 mtr, hp-40. the outlet of pump of 6" water line connected to a header of 6 mtr long of 6" line, on this header the six tapping are connected, 4 nos. 3" line goes to 11 mtr height water cooler the pressure of the line is 0.15 to 0.25 kg/cm2, 2" and 4" pipe line connected to a cooler at 4 mtrlevel plateform. my question is, at 11 mtr height level the quantity of water and flow is not sufficient for my cooler, the temp. of cooler is rises much more. you are requested to suggest the modification of pipe line/ pump for take more water flow and pressure (desired pressure is 1 kg/cm2)
