Calculation of psychrometric properties of air

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, then click the Calculation tab and tick on the Iteration
2. In the spreadsheet "Calculations"
a. Insert values for two of the parameters T, Tw, W, RH in the cells C8-C11 (yellow cells)
b. Turn the "SWITCH" ON (set the value in the cell G2 (red cell) equal to 1 and press ENTER)
c. Iterate (by pressing F9) until the values in the green cells are constant. Read the results in the gree
d. To recalculate for different parameter values turn the "SWITCH" OFF (set the value in the cell G2 eq
