๏ปฟ๏ปฟ In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about psychrometrics and the magic line inside a messy-looking chart. The psychrometric chart is a key tool for understanding the relationship between air and water. “Psychrometric” comes from the Greek roots for “cold” and “measurement.” As such, a tool called the psychrometer (with paired wet-bulb and dry-bulb […]
