Textbook Question

Chapter 1, Problem 1.28P

Wet atmospheric air at 100 percent relative humidity contains saturated water vapor and, by Dal ton's law of partial pressures, _p_a_t_m= p_d_r_y _a_i_r+ p_w_a_t_e_r _v_a_p_o_r

Suppose this wet atmosphere is at 40°C and 1 atm. Calculate the density of this 100 percent humid air, and compare it with the density of dry air at the same conditions.

If 15.7 m³ of atmospheric air at 149 degrees centigrade temperature are compressed to a volume of 11.2 m³ at zero degrees centigrade, what will be the vacuum pressure of air in kPav?

Consider two containers with the same volume and temperature. The first container is labelled "Dry" and holds "dry" air = a ratio of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). The second container is labelled "Humid" and holds "moist" air = the SAME ratio of nitrogen and oxygen, but also contains water (H2O) vapor. According to the ideal gas law, if the pressures are equal, the weight of the gas inside the "Dry" container will be ...

Some air at a temperature of 40°C and pressure 4 bar occupies a volume of 0.05 m^3. Determine the mass of the air assuming the characteristic gas constant for air to be 287 J/(kgK)
