Moist Air Enthalpy (ASHRAE Psychrometrics)

Total heat content h = 0.240 t + W (1061 + 0.444 t) Btu per lb dry air, the state property every coil and air-mix calculation starts from. Return air at 80 F, W 0.0112 -> 31.48 Btu/lb; 55 F supply, W 0.009 -> 22.97. Pair with outdoor-air-mix for W. A design aid; the chart and equipment ratings govern.
