Formula
The formula for is the following:
Where:
- = equivalent temperature
- = Temperature of air at pressure
- = pressure at the point (in same units as )
- = standard reference pressure (1000 mbar or 100 kPa)
- = specific gas constant for air (287 J/(kg·K))
- = specific heat of dry air at constant pressure (1004 J/(kg·K))
- = latent heat of evaporation (2400 kJ/kg {at 25 °C} to 2600 kJ/kg {at −40 °C})
- = mixing ratio of water vapor mass per mass of dry air (g/Kg or in Kg/Kg.)

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
