Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity Formula Elements

Variables
Degree of Saturation
Degree of saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Symbol: S
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Relative Humidity
Relative Humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in the mixture to the vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.
Symbol: Φ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air
Partial pressure of water vapour in saturated air is obtained from the steam tables corresponding to dry bulb temperature.
Symbol: ps
Measurement: PressureUnit: Bar
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Total Pressure of Moist Air
Total Pressure of Moist Air is the pressure exerted by the mixture of air and water vapour which is equal to the sum of the respected pressures. It is also called barometric pressure.
Symbol: pt
Measurement: PressureUnit: Bar
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

FAQs on Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity

What is the formula to find Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity?
The formula of Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity is expressed as Degree of Saturation = Relative Humidity*(1-Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air/Total Pressure of Moist Air)/(1-(Relative Humidity*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air)/Total Pressure of Moist Air). Here is an example- 0.126405 = 0.616523*(1-9100000/10000000)/(1-(0.616523*9100000)/10000000).
How to calculate Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity?
With Relative Humidity (Φ), Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air (ps) & Total Pressure of Moist Air (pt) we can find Degree of Saturation given Relative Humidity using the formula - Degree of Saturation = Relative Humidity*(1-Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air/Total Pressure of Moist Air)/(1-(Relative Humidity*Partial Pressure of Water Vapour in Saturated Air)/Total Pressure of Moist Air).
What are the other ways to Calculate Degree of Saturation?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Degree of Saturation-
