Relative Humidity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Relative Humidity = Specific Humidity*Partial Pressure/((0.622+Specific Humidity)*Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A)
Φ = ω*p_partial/((0.622+ω)*PA^o)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Relative Humidity - Relative Humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in the mixture to the vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.
Specific Humidity - Specific Humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel.
Partial Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Partial Pressure is the notional pressure of that constituent gas if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature.
Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A - (Measured in Pascal) - Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A is the pressure exerted by a liquid or solid molecules of only A in a closed system in which they are in equilibrium with the vapour phase.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Humidity: 0.25 --> No Conversion Required
Partial Pressure: 0.2 Pascal --> 0.2 Pascal No Conversion Required
Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A: 2700 Pascal --> 2700 Pascal No Conversion Required

What is Relative Humidity?

The relative humidity of an air-water mixture is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in the mixture to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water over a flat surface of pure water[10] at a given temperature.
The relative humidity is normally expressed as a percentage; a higher percentage means that the air-water mixture is more humid. At 100% relative humidity, the air is saturated and is at its dew point.

How to Calculate Relative Humidity?

Relative Humidity calculator uses Relative Humidity = Specific Humidity*Partial Pressure/((0.622+Specific Humidity)*Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A) to calculate the Relative Humidity, Relative Humidity formula is defined as the ratio of the current amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature, expressed as a percentage. Relative Humidity is denoted by Φ symbol.

How to calculate Relative Humidity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Humidity, enter Specific Humidity (ω), Partial Pressure (p_partial) & Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A (PA^o) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Humidity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.1E-5 = 0.25*0.2/((0.622+0.25)*2700).

FAQ

What is Relative Humidity?

Relative Humidity formula is defined as the ratio of the current amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature, expressed as a percentage and is represented as Φ = ω*p_partial/((0.622+ω)*PA^o) or Relative Humidity = Specific Humidity*Partial Pressure/((0.622+Specific Humidity)*Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A). Specific Humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel, Partial Pressure is the notional pressure of that constituent gas if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature & Vapor Pressure of Pure Component A is the pressure exerted by a liquid or solid molecules of only A in a closed system in which they are in equilibrium with the vapour phase.
