Psychrometry and Grain Drying

Subtopic: Psychrometry and Grain Drying

Question Statement:

Specific humidity (humidity ratio $\omega$) of moist air at total barometric pressure $P$ and partial water vapor pressure $P_v$ is given by:

Options:

  • (A) $\omega = 0.622 \frac{P_v}{P - P_v}$
  • (B) $\omega = 0.622 \frac{P - P_v}{P_v}$
  • (C) $\omega = \frac{P_v}{P}$
  • (D) $\omega = 1.61 \frac{P_v}{P - P_v}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

From ideal gas relations, $\omega = \frac{m_v}{m_a} = \frac{M_v}{M_a} \frac{P_v}{P_a} = \frac{18.015}{28.966} \frac{P_v}{P - P_v} = 0.622 \frac{P_v}{P - P_v}$.
