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:
“I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure—which is: Try to please everybody.”
—Herbert B. Swope (1882–1958)
“In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
