    psychrometric chart question



    I'm trying to understand the following :

    I have for a point :
    tdb = 84.7 F
    twb = 75.6 F
    when i enter then [(IP units)psychro chart] to get enthalpy , it comes out to be :
    h=39.1 btu/lb
    now i need my enthalpy to be in (SI units) to I convert the 39.1 to be :
    h= 90.94 KJ/Kg
    ok , now I worked this another way ,
    I transformed tdb and twb from F to C
    tdb = 29.27778C
    twb = 24.22222C
    then entered the [(SI units)psychro chart] to get enthalpy the outcome is :
    h= 73.3 KJ/Kg

    I cant figure out what is the reason for the huge difference between the 73 and 90 of h in SI
    can anyone help ?

    you are only allowed to answer the question if you know the reason of this problem ,
    so if you find it something that easy , go ahead and clarify . no one knows every thing .
    other wise you'd better shut up and behave till someone answers .

    To reiterate his comment, only post a single question once​​​, ​do not multi post the same question across the forum like spam.

    Re: psychrometric chart question

    The base points are different for the (2) charts....Neither of them are working in absolute numbers, each has a different definition for "zero enthalpy". See:
