Chapter 9. Psychrometry and Air Processes 9-1) Composition and thermal properties of moist air (1) Atmospheric air Atmospheric air is not completely dry but a mixture of dry air and water vapor. In atmospheric air, the content water vapor varies from 0 to 3% by mass. The processes of air-conditioning and food refrigeration often involve removing water from the air (dehumidifying), and adding water to the air (humidifying). Psychrometry is the science of studying the thermodynamic properties of moist air and the use of these properties to analyze conditions and processes involving moist air. (
