1. (relative humidity) The partial pressure of water vapor in air is usually less than the equilibrium vapor pressure (or saturation pressure) at the ambient temperature; this is why a cup of water will spontaneously evaporate. The ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure (at the same temperature) is called the relative humidity. Saturated air, at 100% relative humidity, would be in equilibrium with a cup of liquid water. The saturation pressure depends strongly...

5) In a steamy sauna, the wall is colder than the rest of the sauna. The sauna starts off at a relative humidity of 0.60 and steam is continously added to the sauna. If the wall stays at a constant temperature of 15 celcius, what is the water vapor partial pressure (kPa) next to the wall when condensation forms? 6) For atmospheric air at dry bulb temperature of 30 celcius and wet bulb temperature of 25 celcius, what is the...
Atmospheric air at 32°C and 70% relative humidity passes through a cooling section in an air-conditioning duct where the air is cooled below its dew point and some of the water is removed. The air then passes over a heating section where heat is added until the final temperature is 22°C and the relative humidity is 45%. Assume the process occurs at constant pressure of 1 atm. Using the psychrometric chart, determine: (a) The amount of water removed in the...
