If you must enter wet bulb or dew point instead of RH,
then simply adjust RH as necessary to obtain the
desired wet bulb or dew point temperature.
You can also use "Goal Seek" in the Data group
on the Menu Bar to solve for RH. See the Help file for details.

Calculators include precise psychrometric calculations for maximum accuracy.

Make sure the desired elevation is entered, since the cfm result can vary
considerably depending upon this value.

The inlet RH is optional, since it has very little effect on the

calculated cfm at normal inlet temperatures. If the RH cell is empty
its value will be regarded as 0. Greater accuracy is obtained when
