1. What does the term absolute humidity mean?
a) Moisture content of a gas by mass
b) Moisture content of a gas by moles
c) Ratio of humidity to humidity at saturation
d) Temperature at which moisture begins to condense when it is cooled
View Answer
Explanation: The term absolute humidity or mass humidity means the moisture content of a gas by mass. It is expressed as the ratio of Mass of water multiplies by partial pressure of water to the mass of air multiplied by remaining pressure.
2. What does the term molal humidity mean?
a) Moisture content of a gas by mass
b) Moisture content of a gas by moles
c) Ratio of humidity to humidity at saturation
d) Temperature at which moisture begins to condense when it is cooled
View Answer
Explanation: The term molal humidity means the moisture content of a gas by mass. It is expressed as the ratio of partial pressure of water to remaining pressure.
3. What does the term percent saturation mean?
a) Moisture content of a gas by mass
b) Moisture content of a gas by moles
c) Ratio of humidity to humidity at saturation
d) Temperature at which moisture begins to condense when it is cooled
View Answer
Explanation: The term percent saturation refers to ratio of humidity to humidity at saturation.
4. What does the term dew-point temperature mean?
a) Moisture content of a gas by mass
b) Moisture content of a gas by moles
c) Ratio of humidity to humidity at saturation
d) Temperature at which moisture begins to condense when it is cooled
View Answer
Explanation: The term dew point temperature refers to the temperature at which moisture begins to condense when it is cooled.
5. What does the term humid volume refer to?
a) Specific heat of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas
b) Volume of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas

View Answer
Explanation: The term total enthalpy means the enthalpy of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas.
8. What does the term adiabatic saturation temperature refer to?
a) Specific heat of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas
b) Volume of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas
c) Enthalpy of moisture gas mixture per unit mass of moisture free gas
d) Temperature attained when a gas is saturated with moisture in an adiabatic process
View Answer
Explanation: The term adiabatic saturation temperature means the temperature attained when a gas is saturated with moisture in an adiabatic process.
