Question

Is the temperature of saturated air less than the temperature of unsaturated air​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saturated air is that air which holds water vapour at its maximum concentration at a particular temperature and pressure. Explanation: Unsaturated air means that the air contains the very less amount of water vapour.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Air is said to be saturated at such equilibrium otherwise it is unsaturated. Both terms

are used for characterizing dry and moist air.

Unsaturated air: When liquid and vapour phase are imagined to coexist and the rate of

evaporation of water from liquid exceed rate of condensation, then air is unsaturated at a

given temperature T and it can be expressed by the pair (e, T ).

Saturated air: When the vapour pressure in the gas phase reach to a value (say es ) such that

the rate of evaporation of water from liquid is equal to rate of condensation of vapour in air at

temperature T of the system. The pair es ( , T ) may express the state of the system.

Normally the interface of liquid and vapour phase is regarded as a plane surface.

That is, at a given temperature, rs is inversely proportion to p. Note that es = es(T ), so the

saturated mixing ratio rs is also a function of temperature; this implies that rs increases with

increasing temperature at constant pressure. But at constant temperature, rs increases with

decreasing pressure p,
