Characterization of moist air
Moisture content
Unsaturated moist air is a mixture of air and water vapor. Both are considered as ideal gases. Indeed, we use the ideal gas laws for water vapor all the way down to the state of saturation, where condensation occurs. For a given temperature this occurs at the pressure p′= p(T) which may be read off from Table 2.4.
