Book Description
Relative
humidity is a term used to describe the amount of water vapour that
exists in a gaseous mixture of air and water vapour. The relative
humidity of an air-water mixture is defined as the ratio of the partial
pressure of water vapour in the mixture to the saturated vapour pressure
of water at a prescribed temperature. This book presents current
research in the study of relative humidity, including humidity-sensitive
and non-ohmic tin dioxide ceramics; optics of airborne particles under
elevated humidity conditions; a review of relative humidity management
and its environmental effects; relative humidity effects in a spa; and,
relative humidity modelled by a functional network.
