Question

A glass contains some water at room temperature 20°C. Refrigerated water is added to it slowly. when the temperature of the glass reaches 10°C, small droplets condense on the outer surface. Calculate the relative humidity in the room. The boiling point of water at a pressure of 17.5 mm of mercury is 20°C and at 8.9 mm of mercury it is 10°C.

Solution

Here,Dew point = 100C ∵ Dew appears at 100CAt boiling point, SVP equals atmospheric pressure.At 200C, SVP = 17.5 mmHgAt dew point, SVP= 8.9 mmHgRH=SVP at dew pointSVP at air temperature×100%=8.917.5×100%=51%
