Saturation vapor pressure the pressure exerted b y the vapor in a saturated space.
Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat absorbed by a unit mass of a substance, without change in temperature, while passing from the liquid to the vapor state.
The heat of vaporization of water Hv in kilojoules per gram varies with temperature but can be determined accurately up to 40C by. Where T is temperature in degree Celsius.
Hv = 2.50 0.00236T
Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert one gram of ice to liquid water at the same temperature.
Latent heat if sublimation is the amount of heat required to convert one gram of ice into vapor at the same temperature without passing through the intermediate liquid state.
the specific gravity of water vapor is 0.622 times that of dry air at the same temperature and pressure. The density of water vapor in grams per cubic centimeter
Where T = Is the absolute temperature in Kelvins (K) Rg = the specific gas constant for dry air
Where:
This equation shows that moist air is lighter than dry air.
2-17 Terminology
Computation of saturation vapor pressure:
Dewpoint ( Td) is the temperature at which space becomes saturated when air is cooled under constant pressure and with constant water-vapor content.
Where T is in degree Celsius and X is the compliment of the relative humidity expressed as a decimal fraction, or X = 100-f/100
Relative humidity (f) is the poercentage ratio of the actual to the saturation vapor pressure and is therefore a ratio of the amount of moisture in a given space to the amount the space could contain if saturated.
Relative humidity can also be computed directly from air temperature T and dewpoint Td by an approximate formula. Where temperatures are in degree celsius. The formula approximates relative humidity to within 0.6 % in the range od 25 to 45 degree celsius.
The specific humidity , usually expressed in grams per kilogram, is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of moist air:
The mixing ratio Wr, is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of perfectly dry air in a humid texture. Usually expressed in grams per kilogram of dry air, it is given by
The total amount of water vapor in a layer of air is often expressed as the depth of precipitable water Wp, in millimeters.
A convinient formula in computing Wp in millimeters is
