The adoption of an ideal mixture model greatly simplifies the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of moist air. The real mixture model provides more accuracy; however, it is necessary to introduce moist air enhancement and compressibility factors, which can both prove to be difficult to evaluate. Presents a number of approximate relationships for these parameters that are valid for an extended thermodynamic range (from 0.1MPa to 5.0MPa and from -100degC to 200degC).
