    psychrometric chart question

    Hi all , Knowing that wetbulb temperature and enthalpy lines are not identical (only approximated on chart) . I have a point of known wetness (kg/kg) and known dry bulb temperature and I want to know it's exact enthalpy . Then indentify the point that has the same enthalpy with an RH% of 100% ...
