This Psychrometric Processes Program follows equations provided in the 2005 ASHRAE Handbook of Metric Units

Fundamentals, Chapter 6. The program can replace the Psychrometric chart and users are encouraged to
compare values. It permits the quick calculation of basic HVAC air mixing, cooling, heating and heat 50.00 °C Tdb2 Tdb1
