water vapor capacity of the air) Air can hold a max of _____ at°C If that air contains _____ than the R.H. = With this example we begin to get an idea of the difference between a relative moisture scale and an absolute moisture scale. There are several ways to measure humidity: – Vapor Pressure (Pressure) – Absolute Humidity (Density) – Specific Humidity (Mass Ratio) – Mixing Ratio (Mass Ratio) – Relative Humidity (Percentage) Absolute humidity. Absolute Humidity (AH) is the actual amount of moisture in the air regardless of temperature • Humidity – an expression of the amount of water vapor in the air. Evaporation, condensation, equilibrium. Conversely, the lower the temperature the lower the amount of moisture the air can hold. Absolute humidity (ABHU) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total volume of moist air (TVMA) in which it is con tained. Humidity •Humidity: the amount of water in the air. of how much moisture is present compared to how much moisture the air could hold at that Relative Humidity (RH) = (actual water vapor content) x (max. In symbol form: ABHU = MAWV/TVMA It is a ratio of mass to volume; units used are grams of water vapor per cubic meter of moist air. Vapor pressure, partial pressure. Relative humidity is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the amount present at a given temperature. It changes only when water vapor is added or removed from the atmosphere Absolute humidity = Mass of water vapor/Volume of air“> What is Relative Humidity? As the name implies, relative humidity is a measure. Relative humidity Dew point temperature Relative Humidity. •Absolute humidity: the mass of water vapor in a unit volume of air. •Specific humidity: the mass of the water vapor Absolute humidity. Saturation vapor pressure. Humidity. Absolute humidity (ABHU) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total volume of moist air (TVMA) in which it is con tained. The higher the temperature, the more moisture the air can hold. Relative humidity. It is the ratio of vapor pressure to saturated vapor pressure and is expressed in percentage Relative Humidity (RH) is the amount of moisture air is able to hold at a particular temperature. The relative humidity changes when the temperature changes, but the % water vapor by volume does not change with temperature. In symbol form: ABHU = Concepts.
