[Bldg-sim] wetbulb formula

[James V Dirkes II, PE]

Dear Jeff,

Where might one find this report and the spreadsheets?  I searched the
ASHRAE Web site for RP865 and came up empty.

Alec,



ASHRAE also has wetbulb formula in the spreadsheets that come with the
ASHRAE RP865 final report, which are being incorporated into Standard 140.

Hi,
Does anyone have an Excel-friendly equation they would be willing to share
that can convert Tdb and RH into Twb?  We have metered data giving us Tdb,
RH, and Tdp, but we need to know wetbulb.  We usually solve this problem
with an Excel psychrometric add-in, but we need to distribute this
spreadsheet to a client and cannot distribute the add-in at the same time.

We've tried a couple of multivariable regressions on the data, but because
it is nonlinear, it is not proving to be that straightforward.  Next stop
might be a two-way lookup table, but that is kind of cumbersome and was
hoping to avoid it.

Any help much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Alec Stevens
