Substituting Input Values in Formula

hfg = (cp*(L_e^0.67))/((Yw-Y∞)/(T∞-T_w)) --> (3*(4.5^0.67))/((6-12)/(35-14))

Evaluating ... ...

hfg = -28.7634968577051

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-28.7634968577051 Joule per Kilogram K --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-28.7634968577051 ≈ -28.763497 Joule per Kilogram K <-- Enthalpy of Evaporation

What is humidification?

Humidification is the process in which the moisture or water vapor or humidity is added to the air. Common equipment used in this process is a humidifier. Dehumidification as the term suggests, is the opposite of humidification since dehumidification means removing the moisture from the air. Common equipment used in this process is a dehumidifier.
Humidity is the presence of water vapor or moisture in the air, while relative humidity, on the other hand, is the comparison of the actual moisture or water vapor in the air vs. the total water vapor or moisture that the air can handle.

How to Calculate Enthalpy of evaporation of water in humidification?

Enthalpy of evaporation of water in humidification calculator uses Enthalpy of Evaporation = (Specific Heat of Air*(Lewis Number^0.67))/((Absolute Humidity of Air(tw)-Absolute Humidity of Air(atm))/(Air Temperature-Wet Bulb Temperature)) to calculate the Enthalpy of Evaporation, The Enthalpy of evaporation of water in humidification formula is defined as the amount of energy required by the water to change its state from liquid to gas. Enthalpy of Evaporation is denoted by hfg symbol.
