3. The dry adiabatic lapse rate, I'd≈1 K/100 m, and the moist (or saturated) adiabatic lapse
rate, I'm depends on moisture content, but is approximated by I'm ≈ 0.5 K/100 m in the
lower troposphere.
(a) If a parcel has 50% relative humidity, what rate will it cool as it rises?
(b) If a parcel has 100% relative humidity, what rate will it cool as it rises?
I'm?
(c) Why is I'd
You drive a car on a winter day with the atmospheric air at -15 and you keep the outside frontwindshield surface temperature at +2 by blowing hot air on the inside surface. If the windshield is 0.5m 2 and the outside convection coefficient is 250 W/m 2 ·K, find the rate of energy loss (q) through thefront windshield. (hint: q=hA)
(a) Calculate the percent relative humidity on a day when the temperature is 25.0oC and the air contains 9.40 g of water vapor per m3. (b) At what temperature will this air reach 100% relative humidity (the saturation density)? This temperature is the dew point. (c) What is the humidity when the air temperature is 25.0oC and the dew point is -10.0oC?
