PsychroAssay

PsychroAssay performs high-precision calculations of psychrometric processes between two determined single-state moist airstreams points. It implements the latest mathematical models for the simulation of the physics of water vapor, dry air and moist air as real gases. Given two different thermodynamic property values of moist air, a flow rate and an absolute pressure value as input parameters, the application calculates 14 psychrometric quantities for each of the two moist airstreams state points. Once these state points are determined, it allows to conduct a psychrometric analysis for seven different psychrometric processes between them. The results obtained are suitable for scientific or industrial use, HVAC, meteorology and related fields.

-Performs all the calculations implementing the latest mathematical models used to generate the tables for moist air properties and thermodynamic properties of water in the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.

-For the calculation of each State Point, it allows for 17 different combinations of thermodynamic properties to be entered as input parameters:
