  2. Vapour-pressure deficit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour-pressure_deficit

    Global distribution of Vapour-pressure deficit averaged over the years 1981-2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1] Vapour pressure-deficit, or VPD, is the difference (deficit) between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated. Once air becomes saturated, water will condense to form clouds ...

  3. Vapor pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure

    This is illustrated in the vapor pressure chart (see right) that shows graphs of the vapor pressures versus temperatures for a variety of liquids. [7] At the normal boiling point of a liquid, the vapor pressure is equal to the standard atmospheric pressure defined as 1 atmosphere, [1] 760 Torr, 101.325 kPa, or 14.69595 psi.

  4. Penman–Monteith equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penman–Monteith_equation

    δe = vapor pressure deficit (Pa) g a = Conductivity of air, atmospheric conductance (m s −1) g s = Conductivity of stoma, surface or stomatal conductance (m s −1) γ = Psychrometric constant (γ ≈ 66 Pa K −1) Note: Often, resistances are used rather than conductivities.

  5. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water

    The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.

  6. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    The definition of a w is where p is the partial water vapor pressure in equilibrium with the solution, and p* is the (partial) vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature. An alternate definition can be a w ≡ l w x w {\displaystyle a_{w}\equiv l_{w}x_{w}} where l w is the activity coefficient of water and x w is the mole fraction of ...

  7. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    where P 1, P 2 are the vapor pressures at temperatures T 1, T 2 respectively, ΔH vap is the enthalpy of vaporization, and R is the universal gas constant. The rate of evaporation in an open system is related to the vapor pressure found in a closed system. If a liquid is heated, when the vapor pressure reaches the ambient pressure the liquid ...

  8. File:Water vapor pressure graph.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Water_vapor_pressure...

    English: Plot of water vapor pressure p in Torr (mmHg) and hPa versus Temperature T in degrees Celsius. Note that the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure (760 Torr) at the boiling temperature of water. Produced by Yannick Trottier in 2006.

  9. Compressed fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_fluid

    The compressed fluid region is located to the left of the blue line (the liquid-vapor phase boundary). The international pictogram for compressed gases. A compressed fluid (also called a compressed or unsaturated liquid , [ 1 ] subcooled fluid or liquid ) is a fluid under mechanical or thermodynamic conditions that force it to be a liquid .
