Specific Humidity given Mass of Water Vapor and Dry Air Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Humidity = Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air/Mass of Dry Air
ω = m_v/m_a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Humidity - Specific Humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of air in a given volume of air at a specific temperature.
Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air is the quantity of water vapor present in moist air, typically measured in terms of humidity or moisture content.
Mass of Dry Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Dry Air is the amount of dry air present in a given volume of air, excluding the mass of water vapor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air: 3 Kilogram --> 3 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Mass of Dry Air: 12 Kilogram --> 12 Kilogram No Conversion Required

What is Degree of Saturation?

The degree of saturation is a measure of how close the air is to being fully saturated with water vapor. It is the ratio of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature, expressed as a percentage. When the degree of saturation is 100%, the air is fully saturated, meaning it cannot hold any more water vapor, and any additional moisture will condense into liquid. This concept is crucial in understanding humidity, condensation, and weather phenomena like dew and fog.
