Use Table 6-1 to find the saturation mixing ratio (ms) of air samples A and B.
A: ms = ________ g kg−1
B: ms = ________ g kg−1
The saturation mixing ratio of air Samples A and B using Table 6-1.
Answer to Problem 1E
Air Sample | A | B |
Temperature | ||
Relative humidity | 75% | 75% |
Saturation mixing ratio |
Explanation of Solution
The mixing of two air masses causes saturation. Generally, mixing involves a change in the amount of water vapor and temperature.
When temperature is given, then saturation mixing ratio can be determined easily from Table 6-1. At a temperature of
