Specific Humidity given Mass of Water Vapor and Dry Air Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Humidity = Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air/Mass of Dry Air
ω = m_v/m_a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Humidity - Specific Humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel.
Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air is the actual mass of water vapor in a given volume of moist air.
Mass of Dry Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Dry Air is the mass of dry air present in the given volume of the air-vapor mixture.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air: 3 Kilogram --> 3 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Mass of Dry Air: 10 Kilogram --> 10 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ω = m_v/m_a --> 3/10

Evaluating ... ...

ω = 0.3

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.3 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.3 <-- Specific Humidity

< 7 Specific Humidity Calculators

Maximum Specific Humidity

Go 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)

Specific Humidity given Partial Pressure of Water Vapor

Go Specific Humidity = (0.622*Pressure of Water Vapor)/(Total Pressure of Moist Air-Pressure of Water Vapor)

Total Pressure of Moist Air given Specific Humidity

Go Total Pressure of Moist Air = Pressure of Water Vapor+(0.622*Pressure of Water Vapor)/Specific Humidity

Partial Pressure of Water Vapor given Specific Humidity

Go Pressure of Water Vapor = Total Pressure of Moist Air/(1+0.622/Specific Humidity)

Partial Pressure of Dry Air given Specific Humidity

Go Partial Pressure of Dry Air = (0.622*Pressure of Water Vapor)/Specific Humidity

Specific Humidity given Specific Volumes

Go Specific Humidity = Specific Volume of Dry Air/Specific Volume of Water Vapor

Specific Humidity given Mass of Water Vapor and Dry Air

Go Specific Humidity = Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air/Mass of Dry Air

Specific Humidity given Mass of Water Vapor and Dry Air Formula

Specific Humidity = Mass of Water Vapor in Moist Air/Mass of Dry Air
ω = m_v/m_a

What is Specific Humidity?

Specific humidity can be defined as the mass of water vapor in a unit mass of moist air, usually expressed as grams of vapor per kilogram of air or in air conditioning as grains per pound.
