PSYCHOMETRICS INTRODUCTION INDEXES PSYCHOMETRIC CHART INTRODUCTION:  PSYCHOMETRICS IS THE STUDY OF MOIST AIR.  THE PSYCHOMETRIC CHART IS A GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THE THERMODYNAMICS AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MOIST AIR.  THE LATENT HEAT IN WATER VAPOR IS THE LARGEST OF ANY COMMON LIQUID.  AS A RESULT, THE SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER VAPOR IN THE AIR MIXTURE OFTEN CONTAINS THE MAJOR PART OF THE TOTAL ENERGY OF THE MIXTURE.
