Dew Point
Water vapour saturation occurs when the air contains the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold at a given temperature and pressure. At this point, the relative humidity (RH) reaches 100%. Relative humidity (RH) is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of waterContinue reading “Dew Point”
Water Vapor/ Vapor pressure/Vapor diffusion
Water vapor is the gaseous form of water that is present in the atmosphere. It plays a critical role in weather, climate, and the hydrological cycle. Water vapor is a gas, produced when water evaporates. The amount of water vapor the air can hold increases with temperature. Warm air can store more moisture than coldContinue reading “Water Vapor/ Vapor pressure/Vapor diffusion”

Water surface tension (capillarity)
Evaporation-limit capillary refers to the movement of water through capillary action is primarily restricted by evaporation Surface tension contributes to capillary action (capillarity) Surface tension allows objects denser than water to float, for example, if you placed a needle gently on the surface of the water it would float, (everyday phenomena raindrop formation, water beadsContinue reading “Water surface tension (capillarity)”
