The sensible heat factor during the heating and humidification process is given by (where h1 = Enthalpy of air entering the heating coil, h2 = Enthalpy of air leaving the heating coil and hA = Enthalpy of air at the end of humidification process)

A. $$\frac{{{{\text{h}}_{\text{A}}} - {{\text{h}}_2}}}{{{{\text{h}}_1} - {{\text{h}}_2}}}$$

B. $$\frac{{{{\text{h}}_2} - {{\text{h}}_{\text{A}}}}}{{{{\text{h}}_1} - {{\text{h}}_2}}}$$

C. $$\frac{{{{\text{h}}_1} - {{\text{h}}_2}}}{{{{\text{h}}_{\text{A}}} - {{\text{h}}_2}}}$$

D. $$\frac{{{{\text{h}}_{\text{A}}} - {{\text{h}}_1}}}{{{{\text{h}}_2} - {{\text{h}}_1}}}$$

    this is wrong answer
    sensible heat factor is defiend as the ratio of sensible heat added (h2-h1) to total heat added (hA-h1) so D option can be true if reciprocal is taken

    Sensible heat factor=sensible heat/ total heat.
    Sensible heat = h2-h1 and total heat= hA-h1.
    SHF during heating and
    humidification =(h2-h1)/(hA-h1)
