The ratio of the actual mass of water vapour in a unit mass of dry air to the mass of water vapour in the same mass of dry air when it is saturated at the same temperature and pressure, is called

humidity ratio
relative humidity
absolute humidity
degree of saturation
✅ The correct answer is option D.

Relative humidity is given by (where pv = Partial pressure of water vapour, pb = Barometric pressure, ps = Pressure of saturated air, pd = Pressure at dry bulb temperature, pw = Saturation pressure corresponding to wet bulb temperature, and μ = Degree of saturation)

none of these
✅ The correct answer is option B.

The superheated vapour region, in a pressure enthalpy chart, is represented by the space

to the left of saturated liquid line
to the right of saturated liquid line
between the saturated liquid line and saturated vapour line
none of the above
✅ The correct answer is option C.

During heating and humidification, the final relative humidity of air

is higher than that of the entering air
is lower than that of the entering air
can be lower or higher than that of the entering air
none of the above
✅ The correct answer is option C.
