Moist air is treated as an ideal gas mixture of water vapor and dry air (molecular weight of air = 28.84 and molecular weight of water = 18). At a location, the total pressure is 100 kPa, the temperature is 30°C and the relative humidity is 55%. Given that the saturation pressure of water at 30°C is 4246 Pa, the mass of water vapor per kg of dry air is ______ grams.
-
- 14.2 gm/kg of dry air
- 15.2 gm/kg of dry air
- 13.2 gm/kg of dry air
- 12.2 gm/kg of dry air
Correct Option: A
| w = 0.622 | ||
| P - Pv |
| φ = | ||
| Ps |
| ⇒ 0.55 = | ||
| Ps |
⇒ Pv = 2235.3
| w = 0.622 × | - 2235.3 | |
| (100 × 103) |
w = 0.0142 kg/kg of dry air
w = 14.2 gm/kg of dry air
