Maximum humidity in the air as a function of temperature

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between air temperature and its capacity to hold water vapor. Warmer air can indeed hold more moisture, and users seek a specific graph or mathematical function to illustrate this concept. The dew point is mentioned as a relevant topic for understanding humidity and moisture content in the air. A link to a Wikipedia page on dew point is provided for further reference. The inquiry highlights the importance of visual data in understanding atmospheric moisture dynamics.

Hi,

I am looking for a graph or function that shows how much water the air can contain as a function of temperature (I think the warmer it is, the more water the air can contain, but I'd like to see an exact graph or function).

Thanks!

MD.

Thread 'Using battery energy to heat a battery…'

Problem: You’re an Uber driver with a Tesla Model 3. Today’s low: 30F, high: 65F. You want to reach a USD$ profit target in the least number of hours, but your choices could have added cost. Do you preheat the battery only when you are headed to the charging station (to increase the charging rate by warming the battery — however the battery might not be “warm enough” when your reach the charger and thus slower charging rates), or do you always “navigate to the charger” the entire day (which...

Thread 'Is Callen right in claiming dQ=TdS for all quasi-static processes?'

Hello! I am currently reading the second edition of Callen's Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, and I have a question regarding Callen's definition of quasi-static. On page 96, Callen says: Another way of characterizing Callen's definition is that a process is quasi-static if it traces out a continuous curve in the system's configuration space. So far it's all well and good. A little later, Callen claims that the identification of $$TdS$$ as the heat transfer is only...

Thread 'Basic thermal energy transfer physics: Insulation value in open airways vs sealed airways'

Been around 40 years since I took basic physics in college and while I remember doing some examples of insulation values / energy conduction, I doubt I could to the math now even if I could find the formulas. I have some some corrugated plastic sheet (think of the plastic signs you see on the side of the road) that is used in bee hives. Also have some used in a green house though a bit different in dimensions than this example but the general approach should still apply. Typically, both...
