Calculating Wet Bulb Temperature using Air Temp RH and Pressure

[ErrorFactor]

thread724-129442

First compute dewpoint temperature (Td)
Td = (-430.22+237.7*LN(E))/(-LN(E)+19.08) = Td in °C
E = (rH/100)*0.611*EXP(17.27*T/(T+237.3))

Then compute wet bulb temperature (Tw)
Tw = [(GAMMA*T)+(DELTA*Td)]/(GAMMA+DELTA)
GAMMA = 0.00066*P
where P is ambient barometric pressure in kPa
DELTA = 4098*E/(Td+237.3)2

I've been trying to find the combined measurement uncertainty when using this formula, particularly the sensitivity coefficients. Thanks

Sensitivity coefficients?

Are you referring to the partial derivatives w.r.t. to particular parameters?

IRStuff

Yes, That is correct.

 

[IRstuff]

So? You take the partial derivatives of the equation, in its unsimplified form.
