Theory for Heat Transfer in Moist Air
By making the ideal gas assumption in Equation 4-18, The Heat Transfer in Moist Air Interface solves the following equation:
(4-23)
involving the same variables as in Theory for Heat Transfer in Fluids, and the additional QH term, accounting for the diffusive flux of thermal enthalpy due to the rate of change of air and vapor in moist air. It is defined as (Ref. 5):
where:
Cp,v is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure of vapor (SI unit: J/(kg·K))
Cp,a is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure of air (SI unit: J/(kg·K))
gw is the vapor flux by diffusion (SI unit: kg/(m2·s))
