Description

Calculate the virtual temperature \(T_v\)(K) from temperature \(T\)(C), pressure \(P\)(mb) and relative humidity \(rh\)(%).

\(E_{sw}(P, T)\) is the Hardy equation for saturation vapor pressure.

Used in Aspen starting with V3.4.5.

Formula

$$ T_v = \frac{T + 273.15}{1 - h2omr * (1 - \eta)} $$

where:

$$ h2omr = \frac{e}{P - e} \\ e = E_{sw} * (\frac{rh}{100}) \\ \eta = \frac{mh2o}{mdry} \\ mh2o = 18.105 (g) \\ mdry = 28.966 (g) \\ $$
