| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ m_c }\) = condensate load | \(\large{lbm}\) | \(\large{kg}\) |
| \(\large{ Q_a }\) = flow rate of air | \(\large{\frac{ft^3}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m^3}{s}}\) |
| \(\large{ Q_{ls} }\) = latent heat of steam | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg}}\) |
| \(\large{ c_a }\) = specific heat of air | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm-F}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg-K}}\) |
| \(\large{ \gamma_a }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = specific weight of air | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{N}{m^3}}\) |
| \(\large{ T_{in} }\) = inlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
| \(\large{ T_{out} }\) = outlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
