If DBT = 30°C, WBT = 20°C and Barometer reading is 740 mm of Hg. Find out specific humidity using steam tables.

If DBT = 30°C, WBT = 20°C and Barometer reading is 740 mm of Hg. Find out specific humidity using steam tables. Correct Answer 10.914 g / kg of dry air

For given conditions, pressure corresponding to WBT from steam table is pw = 0.02337 bar pb = 740 mm of Hg = 740 x 133.3 / 100000 = 0.98642 bar Pressure of water vapor = pv = pw – = 0.02337 – = 0.01701 bar Specific humidity = W = 0.622 pv / pb – pv = 0.622 x 0.01701 / 0.98642 – 0.01701 = 10.914 g / kg of dry air.
