This write‑up explains the science behind psychrometric calculations, the mathematical formulas required, step‑by‑step construction of an Excel calculator, practical applications, and advanced automation techniques. Before building the calculator, we must define the key properties of moist air, treating it as a mixture of dry air and water vapor.

[ RH = \fracp_wp_ws(T) \times 100% ]

=0.2871*(B3+273.15)/B2 * (1+1.6078*B7) Because dew point requires solving ( p_ws(T_dp) = p_w ), use Excel’s Goal Seek or implement an inverse approximation. A decent direct approximation (for 0–60°C) is:

(SI, kJ/kg dry air )

[ \ln(p_ws) = \fracC_8T + C_9 + C_10 T + C_11 T^2 + C_12 T^3 + C_13 \ln(T) ]

Start with the direct formulas (T_db, RH → all outputs). Then add inverse solving via Goal Seek. Finally, if you find yourself repeatedly computing wet‑bulb or dew point, invest an afternoon in writing VBA functions—you will never need a paper chart again. Word count: approx. 1,950

=$B$2*0.62198*B6/($B$2-B6) Wait – careful: ( W = 0.62198 * p_w / (P - p_w) ). So correct formula:

[ v = \frac0.2871 \cdot (T_db + 273.15)P \cdot (1 + 1.6078 \cdot W) ] where 0.2871 = gas constant for dry air (kJ/kg·K), ( P ) in kPa.
