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...
I am needing help with this assignment for my Geography class. Can anyone help out? Geography 01 Physical Geography East Los Angeles College Spring 2019 Exercise 4: Atmospheric Moisture Suggested Reading: Hess, pp 132-138 KEY TERMS: Absolute Humidity, Relative Humidity, Saturation Capacity, Dew Point, Warm air has relatively greater capacity to hold water vapor than does cooler air. As air warms, its capacity to hold moisture increases at an increasing rate; this means that if a source of moisture is...
1) An air-water vapor mixture at 95°F has a relative humidity of 45%. Calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor and its dew-point temperature. (Hint: Psychrometric chart is really useful for this.)
15. The relative humidity of air equals the ratio of the partial pressure of water in the air to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the same temperature times 100%. If the relative humidity of the air is 56% and its temperature is 70°F, how many grams of water are present in a room measuring 15 ft x 10 ft x 11 ft? The vapor pressure of water at 68 °F is 17.54 torr. Show your work 15. The...
Problem 6.14 Humidity and Condensation Air at 30.0% relative humidity is cooled isobarically at 1 atm absolute from 90.0°C to 35.0°C. a. Estimate the dew point and the degrees of superheat of the air at 90.0°C. Dew point: Degrees of superheat: doc b. How much water condenses (mol) per cubic meter of feed gas? (See Example 6.3-2) mol c. Suppose a sample of the 90.0°C air is put in a closed variable-volume chamber containing a mirror and the pressure is...
A person breathes 10 liters per minute of air that is at 68 degree and 50% relative humidity. [Relative humidity is the ratio of the actual vapor density to the saturation vapor density. The saturation vapor density is the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at a particular temperature and is given in grams/meter cu bed] Given: Saturation vapor density at 20 deg. Celsius = 17.3 grams/meter cubed Saturation vapor density at 37 deg. Celsius =...

Ambient conditions are 30°C,...
1) The air temperature is 15ºC. Determine the saturation vapor pressure at this temperature. If the dew point temperature is found to be 10ºC, determine the vapor pressure in the air, and calculate the relative humidity for both temperatures.
