Gas phase heat transfer coefficient in dehumidification

Go Gas Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient = ((Liquid Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Inside Temperature-Liquid layer temperature))-(Enthalpy of Evaporation*Gas Phase Mass Transfer Coefficient*(Absolute Humidity of Air(tg)-Absolute Humidity (ti))))/(Bulk Gas Temperature-Inside Temperature)

Liquid layer temperature in dehumidification

Go Liquid layer temperature = Inside Temperature-(((Gas Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Bulk Gas Temperature-Inside Temperature))+Enthalpy of Evaporation*Gas Phase Mass Transfer Coefficient*(Absolute Humidity of Air(tg)-Absolute Humidity (ti)))/Liquid Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient)

Convective mass transfer coefficient in humidification

Go Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient = (Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Air Temperature-Wet Bulb Temperature))/(Enthalpy of Evaporation*(Partial Pressure-Partial Pressure in air))

Enthalpy of evaporation for water in humidification

Go Enthalpy of Evaporation = (Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Air Temperature-Wet Bulb Temperature))/(Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient*(Partial Pressure-Partial Pressure in air))

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.
