Moist air has these values; 760mmHg, 80%, 30 degrees C. I have managed to find the humidity ratio (21,65 g/kg), but how can I determine the specific enthalpy?

Humidity ratio is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of dry air. It is typically expressed in grams of water vapor per kilogram of dry air.
Humidity ratio is calculated using the following formula: humidity ratio = (mass of water vapor) / (mass of dry air). It can also be calculated using psychrometric charts or online calculators.
Humidity ratio is important because it affects the comfort and health of individuals, as well as the performance of certain materials and equipment. It can also impact the formation of clouds and precipitation in the atmosphere.
The ideal humidity ratio for human comfort is typically between 0.30-0.60 g/kg, with the exact range varying depending on personal preference and climate. A higher humidity ratio can lead to a feeling of stickiness and discomfort, while a lower humidity ratio can cause dryness and irritation.
Humidity ratio can be controlled through the use of dehumidifiers or humidifiers, which remove or add moisture to the air. It can also be controlled through proper ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as by limiting activities that release moisture into the air, such as cooking or showering.
