Air in a room is at 35°C and 60% relative humidity (RH) The
pressure in the room is 0.1 MPa The saturation pressure of
water at 35°C is 5.63 kPa. Calculate the humidity ratio of the air (in
grain/kg of dry air).
Calculate and compare the mol fraction of water vapor (in PPM) for two cases: 90% relative humidity at T = 10 C and 90% relative humidity at 30o C. In both cases the atmospheric pressure is 97.0 kPa. What do you conclude?
Explain briefly why you "see your breath" in cold weather, when the air is typically at low relative humidity (<20%).

What is the total mass (in kg) of water vapor in the air in the apartment?arrow_forwardGaseous hydrogen weakens the mechanical strength of cast iron. this phenomenon often occurs in cast iron pressure vessels containing 100% gas hydrogen. H2 gas dissolves in metallic iron and diffuses into solid non-porous iron by an interstitial diffusion mechanism. H2 gas does not need to penetrate far into the iron to have a negative effect on the mechanical strength of iron. In the present situation, 100% of H2 gas at 1.0 atm and 100°C is contained within a 1.0 m internal diameter and wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The solubility of hydrogen in iron in 100°C is 2.2x10-7 mol of H/g Fe atoms. The diffusion coefficient of atoms of hydrogen in solid iron is 124.0x10-9 cm2 /sec at 100°C. Initially, there are no H atoms in solid iron.
