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:
“Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
