Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Examples.TWetBul_TDryBulXi

Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Examples.TWetBul_TDryBulXi

Information


This examples is a unit test for the wet bulb computation.
The problem setup is such that the moisture concentration and
the dry bulb temperature are varied simultaneously so 
that the wet bulb temperature remains constant.
This wet bulb temperature is checked against a constant value with
an assert statement.
If this assert is triggered, then the model for the wet bulb computation
is broken (assuming that the inputs remained unchanged).
