5 Molar fraction The partial pressure of a component in a mixture is proportional to its molar fraction. IDEAL GASSES MIXTURE. DALTON’S MODEL An ideal gas consists on a set of non interacting particles whose volume is very little if compared with the total volume occupied by the gas. Non interacting particles minds negligible forces from one particle to another. Every component in the mixture behaves as if it were the only component occupying the whole volume available at the same temperature the mixture has. As a consequence: every component exerts a partial pressure, being the sum of all partial pressures the total pressure of the mixture. PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental

12 Relationship between partial pressure of vapor, total pressure and specific humidity: The partial pressure from a component of a gasses mixture is proportional to its molar fraction (Dalton) kg vapor/kg dry air Mass of water vapor Mass of dry air = Specific humidity Mixture rate or MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR Specific humidity (or moisture content of air) is the ratio of the mass of water to the mass of dry air in a given volume of moist air Remark: v indicates vapor s indicates dry air PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental

18 ENTHALPY The heat content, usually called the enthalpy, of air rises with increasing water content. Specific enthalpy Specific internal energy This hidden heat, called latent heat by meteorologists and air conditioning engineers, has to be supplied or removed in order to change the relative humidity of air, even at a constant temperature. This is relevant to conservators. The transfer of heat from an air stream to a wet surface, which releases water vapour to the air stream at the same time as it cools it, is the basis for psychrometry and many other microclimatic phenomena. Control of heat transfer can be used to control the drying and wetting of materials during conservation treatment. The enthalpy of dry air is not known. Air at zero degrees celsius is defined to have zero enthalpy. The enthalpy, in kJ/kg, at any temperature, t, between 0 and 60C is approximately: h = 1.007t - 0.026 below zero: h = 1.005t http://www.natmus.dk/cons/tp/atmcalc/ATMOCLC1.HTM#enthalpy PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental
19
19 Specific (kJ/kg dry air) Enthalpy of air-water vapor mixture Sensible heat: Sensible heat is defined as the heat energy stored in a substance as a result of an increase in its temperature Units: kJ/kg dry air o en kcal/kg dry air (specific magnitude). Specific heat of dry air is 0.24 kcal/kg Latent heat: The heat released or absorbed per unit mass by a system in a reversible isobaric- isothermal change of phase. In meteorology, both the latent heats of evaporation (or condensation), fusion (melting), and sublimation of water are important http://www.shinyei.com/allabout-e.htm#a19 Remark: v indicates vapor s indicates dry air Really the sensible heat is the same as enthalpy; the heat absorbed or transmitted by a substance during a change of temperature which is not accompanied by a change of state PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental

20 ADIABATIC SATURATION PROCESS Air flows across a pipe or duct adiabatically insulated where there is an open water reservoir. As air moves around, its specific humidity increases. It is assumed that air and water are in contact time enough until saturation is reached.

Then it is cooled down to 13.5 ºC, and after it is warmed up to 19 ºC. What is its final relative humidity? How much has been changed its specific humidity ? 70%

25 If liquid freezes into solid water (ice), the internal energy is reduced further owing to the much tighter packing of water molecules in the solid phase. An air parcel is a glob of atmospheric air containing the usual mixture of non-condensing gases plus a certain amount of water vapor. Water in the gaseous form exists in any parcel of air with relative humidity greater than 0%. If the amount of water vapor (and other environmental conditions) is such that the relative humidity of the air parcel reaches 100%, it is said that the parcel is saturated. Under conditions of saturation, water in the vapor form can change its phase from vapor to liquid. Then that water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets When phase changes occur, there is a readjustment of the forms of energy associated with the water molecules. In the vapor phase, water has a relatively large amount of internal energy represented by its looser internal molecular structure. When vapor condenses to liquid, the internal energy of the water molecule in the liquid phase is smaller, owing to its tighter molecular structure. AIR PARCEL Its composition remains roughly constant whereas this glob moves across the atmosphere from one site to another. PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental
26
26 PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental AIR PARCEL: MODEL We’ll consider that air parcels obey the following model: Any air parcel is adiabatically isolated and its temperature changes adiabatially when it rises or descends. 1 The movement of air parcels is slow enough to make possible to assume that their kinetic energy is a very little fraction of their total energy. 2 It is assumed that any air parcel is in hidrostatic equilibrium with its environment: it has the same pressure that its environment has. 3 What does hidrostatic equilibrium mean? Are we able to calculate temperatures from that or some related formula?

37 LIFTING CONDENSATION LEVEL The level where a wet air parcel ascending adiabatically becomes saturated During the lifting process the mixing ratio w and the potential temperature remain constant, however the saturation mixing ratio w s drops because the temperature is decreasing. Saturation is reached when the the saturation mixing ratio equals the actual mixing ratio w. PhysicsPhysics EnvironmentalEnvironmental
