Specific Humidity Calculator













How This Is Calculated


$$ \omega = \frac{m_w}{m_a} $$ where:

ω   =   Specific humidity   (Dimensionless)

mw   =   Mass of water vapour   (kg)

ma   =   Mass of dry air   (kg)


Assumptions


  • The system is in steady state.
  • Air and vapor behave as ideal gases
  • There is negligible liquid water.
  • Pressure remains constant.
