Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ m_c }\) = condensate load | \(\large{lbm}\) | \(\large{kg}\) |
\(\large{ Q_a }\) = flow rate of air | \(\large{\frac{ft^3}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m^3}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ L_s }\) = latent heat of steam | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg}}\) |
\(\large{ c_a }\) = specific heat of air | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm-F}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg-K}}\) |
\(\large{ \gamma_a }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = specific weight of air | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{N}{m^3}}\) |
\(\large{ T_i }\) = inlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
\(\large{ T_o }\) = outlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
