## from the psychrometric chart, at w = 0.011kg/kg, the  dry bulb temperature is = 26.5 degree celcius  also the humidity of saturated air at 10 degree celcius is 0.0075kg/kg

w_10 = 0.0075;## humidity at temperatue T in kg/kg

##the specific enthalpy in J/kg can be calculated by the formula => h = (1.005*10^3*T) +(w*((2.50*10^6)+(1.87*10^3*T))); where the T is the temperature and w is the humidity at temperature T
