On moist air and dew points
On moist air and dew points
The basic thermodynamic theories of terrestrial dry and moist air are summarized. Atmospheric water vapor-liquid, vapor-ice and liquid-ice phase transitions using Clapeyron and Clausius-Clapeyron equations are presented in a coherent and clear way. Basic theory and several practical expressions to compute dew points and/or relative humidity are presented. Density altitude …
