Atmospheric air is at $100 \mathrm{kPa}, 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and relative humidity $65 \%$. Find the absolute humidity and the dew point of the mixture. If the mixture is heated to $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, what is the new relative humidity?

Key Concepts

Saturation Vapor Pressure

Saturation vapor pressure is the maximum pressure exerted by water vapor in the air at a given temperature, beyond which condensation occurs. It is a temperature-dependent property that increases with rising temperature, and it is fundamental in calculating relative humidity and dew point conditions in various atmospheric processes.

Dew Point

The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor, leading to condensation. In other words, it is the temperature to which the air must be cooled, at constant pressure, for water vapor to condense into water droplets. The dew point is a key indicator of atmospheric moisture and comfort levels.

Relative Humidity

Relative humidity is the ratio of the current water vapor pressure in the air to the saturation vapor pressure at the same temperature, expressed as a percentage. It indicates how close the air is to being saturated with water vapor, and this ratio changes with temperature because the saturation vapor pressure increases as temperature rises.

Absolute Humidity

Absolute humidity is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor present in a given volume of air, typically expressed in grams per cubic meter (g/m³). It quantifies the mass of water vapor that is in a certain volume of air regardless of the air's temperature and pressure, and is crucial for understanding moisture content in meteorological and HVAC applications.
