Maximum Specific Humidity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Specific Humidity = (0.622*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air)/(Total Pressure of Moist Air-Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air)
ω_max = (0.622*p_s)/(p_t-p_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Specific Humidity - Maximum Specific Humidity is the specific humidity for the saturated air when the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor.
Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air - (Measured in Pascal) - Partial pressure of water vapour in saturated air is obtained from the steam tables corresponding to dry bulb temperature.
Total Pressure of Moist Air - (Measured in Pascal) - Total Pressure of Moist Air is the pressure exerted by the mixture of air and water vapour which is equal to the sum of the respected pressures. It is also called barometric pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air: 91 Bar --> 9100000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Total Pressure of Moist Air: 100 Bar --> 10000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ω_max = (0.622*p_s)/(p_t-p_s) --> (0.622*9100000)/(10000000-9100000)

Evaluating ... ...

ω_max = 6.28911111111111

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.28911111111111 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.28911111111111 ≈ 6.289111 <-- Maximum Specific Humidity
