The discussion revolves around the moisture ratio in air and the limitations of moisture ratio tables, particularly why they typically stop at around 50°C. Participants are exploring the implications of temperature on the moisture-holding capacity of air.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing their thoughts and speculations about the reasons behind the temperature limits of moisture ratio tables. Some have suggested that the data may be limited to "Earthly" weather conditions, while others are seeking additional resources for further information.
Participants note the absence of relevant equations and express uncertainty about the practical need for moisture ratio data above 50°C, while also considering the implications of atmospheric pressure on these values.
My guess is that since humidity and dew points are weather related, the graphs and tables would only display "Earthly" weather values.Vector1962 said:Problem Statement: Why do moisture ratio tables related to temperature, humidity and dew point only go up to about 50 deg C?
Relevant Equations: N/A
Wondering why moisture ratio tables related to temperature and air only go up to roughly 50 C or so? is that temperature a "boundary" on the amount of water air can hold?
This calculator seems to give similar results as my interpolation/eyeballing of the wiki dew point graph, up to 100°C.Vector1962 said:I appreciate your reply. I don't really consider myself a scientist but rather more curious concerning the values between 50C and 100C. Seems like with the amount of information currently available regarding water that the tables and graphs would routinely go to 100C . Don't suppose you have any idea where to get one?... maybe a CRC chem book?
