Note in passing: We will consider that a parcel that is saturated (contains cloud droplets) will warm at the moist adiabatic rate (here, 5°C) when it sinks, until the cloud droplets evaporate. Continued descent will then produce warming at the dry adiabatic rate. This process is called a reversible moist adiabatic process. Suppose we have a cloudy parcel at a temperature of 10°C at 1km height. The parcel sinks to cloud base at 800 m height and then continues to...

Potential temperature can be used to compare the temperature of air parcels that are at different levels in the troposphere. Since temperature tends to decrease with height, it is difficult to note which regions in the troposphere are experiencing warm and which cold advection. Bringing air parcels adiabatically to a standard level (1000 hPa) allows comparisons to be made between air parcels at different elevations. If the potential temperature of an air parcel at one pressure level is lower than...

An air parcel that has a temperature of 20 C and a dewpoint of 10 C at sea-level is forced to rise over a mountain that is 3 km high. Given the the appropriate MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE rate is 5C/km, what would the temperature (in Celsius) of the air parcel be when it reaches the top of the mountain

The next three questions go together 21. Expired air is saturated with water vapor and generally contains more of it than does inspired air. There is usually a net loss of water from the body due to breathing. Water vapor pressure in the at saturation in the lungs (at 37°C) is 47 mmHg, while in expired air at 33°C it is 37.7 mmHg. Consider the case of someone who is breathing dry air in and moist air out at a...

If the outdoor temperature is 30 ∘C and the vapor pressure of water in the air is 75 % of the vapor pressure of water at this temperature, what mass of water must be removed from the air each time the volume of air in the room is cycled through the air conditioner? The vapor pressure for water at 30 ∘C is 31.8 torr. Air conditioners not only cool air, but dry it as well. Suppose that a room in...

Consider a “cold” winter day in with an air temperature of 7.22 °C and relative humidity of about 20% (moisture content 0.001 g H2O/g dry air). A person waiting at a bus stop inhales at an average rate of 8 g dry air/min and exhales air saturated with water at body temperature (37°C) and 1 atm (molal humidity is 6.7%). The heat capacity of dry air is 1.05 J/g- °C. Estimate the rate of heat loss from breathing. Express your...
