Two streams of air with the following conditions are adiabatically mixed:
Latent heat of vapourization of water at 0 °C = 2501 kJ kg⁻¹
Specific heat capacity of dry air = 1.005 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹
Specific heat capacity of water vapour = 1.880 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹
Using above values, the dry bulb temperature and the absolute humidity of the mixed air in °C and g water vapour (kg dry air)⁻¹, respectively are

Specific heat capacity of dry air = 1.005 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹
Specific heat capacity of water vapour = 1.880 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹
