About the operational determination of the state and parameters of flowing moist air

Abstract

The presented paper deals with the solution of moist air parameters for the needs of aerodynamic research or design. From the thermodynamic theory of moist air, a p-t diagram of moist air is designed to allow the operative expression of the process and state of the moist air. Using this diagram, it is possible to illustratively describe the course of parameters at various state changes in moist air such as isentropic expansion and compression, isothermal expansion and compression, isobaric state change, isochoric state change, or general polytrophic state change. The initial state of moist air is determined by the pressure, temperature and moisture of the air. In the p-t diagram, the process is expressed by the applicable curve; the identification of the parameters in which the phase transformation occurs in moist air is significant. Uncertainty analysis is performed.
