Moist Air - Degree of Saturation

Humidity ratio of moist air to humidity ratio of saturated moist air

Sponsored Links

Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the humidity ratio of moist air - to the humidity ratio of saturated moist air at the same temperature and pressure.

The Degree of Saturation can be expressed as

μ = x / x_s (1)

where

μ = degree of saturation

x = humidity ratio of the air (kg_h20/kg_{dry_air})

x_s = humidity ratio of the air at saturation at the same temperature and pressure (kg_h20/kg_{dry_air})

The degree of saturation can also be expressed as:

μ = φ (p_a - p_ws) / (p_a - p_w) (2)

where

μ = degree of saturation

φ = relative humidity (%)

p_w = vapor pressure (mbar)

p_ws = saturation vapor pressure at the actual dry bulb temperature (mbar)

p_a = atmospheric pressure of moist air (mbar)
