Degree of Saturation given Specific Humidity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Saturation = Specific Humidity/Specific Humidity of Saturated Air
S = ω/ω_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Saturation - Degree of saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Specific Humidity - Specific Humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel.
Specific Humidity of Saturated Air - Specific Humidity of Saturated Air is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the dry saturated air at the dry-bulb temperature.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Humidity: 0.25 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Humidity of Saturated Air: 0.95 --> No Conversion Required

Degree of Saturation given Partial Pressure of Water Vapour

LaTeX Go Degree of Saturation = Pressure of Water Vapor/Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air*(1-Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air/Total Pressure of Moist Air)/(1-Pressure of Water Vapor/Total Pressure of Moist Air)

Total Pressure of Moist Air given Degree of Saturation

LaTeX Go Total Pressure of Moist Air = ((Degree of Saturation-1)*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air*Pressure of Water Vapor)/(Degree of Saturation*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air-Pressure of Water Vapor)

Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity

LaTeX Go Degree of Saturation = Relative Humidity*(1-Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air/Total Pressure of Moist Air)/(1-(Relative Humidity*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air)/Total Pressure of Moist Air)

Degree of Saturation given Specific Humidity

LaTeX Go Degree of Saturation = Specific Humidity/Specific Humidity of Saturated Air
