The dry-bulb temperature of an air state from its enthalpy and humidity ratio - t = (h - 1061 W) / (0.240 + 0.444 W) deg F. An enthalpy of 31.48 Btu/lb at W 0.0112 recovers an 80 F dry-bulb. Use it to back out the dry-bulb of a coil's entering or leaving state when a psychrometric analysis gives the enthalpy and W but not the temperature. Sea-level ASHRAE coefficients; a design aid, not a substitute for a measured chart state.

t = (h - 1061 W) / (0.240 + 0.444 W) deg F (the moist-air enthalpy h = 0.240 t + W (1061 + 0.444 t) solved for t).

The I-P moist-air enthalpy relation from the ASHRAE Handbook - Fundamentals solved for the dry-bulb, the inverse of the moist-air-enthalpy tile, by name.

The moist-air enthalpy relation and its sea-level coefficients are standard ASHRAE psychrometric results. A measured chart state and the equipment ratings govern.
