Earth's climate extremes are moderated by circulation patterns in the oceans and the atmosphere that move heat from the tropics pole wards. Warm tropical waters evaporate and are moved by currents in the upper atmosphere to mid-latitudes where the water vapor cools, condenses, and falls as rain. a) How much heat energy is released to the upper atmosphere in the mid-latitudes when a vaporous mass of .034g of water condenses into a raindrop? b) After it forms, the temperature of the raindrop falls another 13C. How much more energy is released to the atmosphere in this process? The latent heat of fusion for water is 33.5*104 J/kg The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.6 *105 J/kg The specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kgC)

On a day when wind is blowing over a lake (T(water) =20°C) at 5 m/s, which side of the air-water interface will be rate-limiting on the flux of Ethyl benzene (i.e. va or vw)?

On a particularly cold day, you are sitting inside your warm room, looking out a window. You are not sure how cold it is outside, but the inside of the window pane is 7.3 °C. Farther away from the window, the rest of the room is a comfortable 22.0 °C and 1.00 atm. At what relative humidity in your room does water vapor begin to condense on the window pane? Assume the inside air is uniformly 22.0 °C except for the air that is very close to the window, which has cooled to 7.3 °C. Solve for the relative humidity requested by first labeling the conditions on the diagram below. Put a label in each answer space, putting a numeric value if the number is given or implied above. Otherwise, use "unknown".

(Use the Antoine equation.) vapor pressure: mmHg

1.14 Two pounds of water vapor at 30 psia fill the 4-ft' left chamber of a partitioned system. The right chamber has twice the volume of the left and is initially evacuated. Determine the pressure of the water after the partition has been removed and enough heat has been transferred so that the temperature of the water is 40°F.
