Water Availability

06/26/2008 10:36 AM

How many grams of water are in saturated air at 5 degrees centigrade and 40 degrees centigrade, both at standard atmospheric pressure? I have seen references to a table, but have been unable to locate it. It is not in the CRC Handbook of Tables. Thank You.

Try to feed a hungry man, and you will both starve; try to support a poor man, and you will both be impoverished. But enable a poor man to support himself, and he will help his neighbor; enable a hungry man to grow his own food, and he will feed his village...george's law of human dignity.

healybj8: Thank you, again. Table 2 in that reference was good enough for the calculations I need to run on recovering irrigation water from humid air. Almost 50 grams of water in a cubic meter of air with a dewpoint of 40 C. Chilling it to 5 C generates some significant volume when fed to a high efficiency trickle irrigation system.
