This formula uses 7 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - The Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per kelvin. Thus area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place.
Partial Pressure - Partial pressure of the water vapor at wet bulb temperature.
Partial Pressure in air - Partial pressure in air of the water vapor is the pressure of water in the mixture of water and air.
Enthalpy of Evaporation - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram K) - Enthalpy of evaporation is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient is a function of geometry of the system and the velocity and properties of the fluid similar to the heat transfer coefficient.
Air Temperature - Air temperature is the temperature of the air surrounding an individual and is typically measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or in Kelvin.
Wet Bulb Temperature - Wet Bulb Temperature is the temperature of the wet bulb and denoted by the symbol Tw.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Partial Pressure: 13 --> No Conversion Required
Partial Pressure in air: 0.016 --> No Conversion Required
Enthalpy of Evaporation: 90 Joule per Kilogram K --> 90 Joule per Kilogram K No Conversion Required
Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient: 0.0095 Meter per Second --> 0.0095 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Air Temperature: 35 --> No Conversion Required
Wet Bulb Temperature: 14 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = ((Pw-P∞)*(hfg*k_L))/(T∞-T_w) --> ((13-0.016)*(90*0.0095))/(35-14)

Evaluating ... ...

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 Heat transfer coefficient in humidification?

Heat transfer coefficient in humidification calculator uses Heat Transfer Coefficient = ((Partial Pressure-Partial Pressure in air)*(Enthalpy of Evaporation*Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient))/(Air Temperature-Wet Bulb Temperature) to calculate the Heat Transfer Coefficient, The Heat transfer coefficient in humidification formula is defined as the characteristic of convective heat transfer between a fluid medium (a fluid) and the surface (wall) flowed over by the fluid. Heat Transfer Coefficient is denoted by h symbol.
