30,000 m³ of coal gas measured at 289 K and 1 atm is saturated with water vapour. This is compressed to 340kN/m² pressure and cooled to 289 K and the condensed water is drained off. Subsequently, the pressure is reduced to 170kN/m² and gas is distributed at this pressure and 289 K. What is the % humidity after treatment? The vapour pressure of water at 289 K is 1.8kN/m².

Question
30,000 m³ of coal gas measured at 289 K and 1 atm is saturated with water vapour. This
is compressed to 340kN/m² pressure and cooled to 289 K and the condensed water is
drained off. Subsequently, the pressure is reduced to 170kN/m² and gas is distributed at
this pressure and 289 K. What is the % humidity after treatment? The vapour pressure of
water at 289 K is 1.8kN/m².
