Question

If the relative humidity is 25 nd the saturation mixing ratio is 24g/kg, what is the mixing ratio?

Answer 1

The mixing ratio is 6.

To find the answer, we have to know about the mixing ratio.

What is mixing ratio?

• The mixing ratio must be calculated in a complex manner.
• A saturated vapor pressure (es) for values of air temperature and an actual vapor pressure (e) for values of dewpoint temperature must be determined in order to determine the mixing ratio.
• The air temperature and/or dewpoint temperature must first be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) before the vapor pressures can be calculated.
• The equation below can be used to determine the relative humidity (rh), as well as the actual mixing ratio and saturated mixing ratio,

                         $Rh=\frac{w}{w_s} *100$

where; w is the mixing ratio and w(s) is the saturation mixing ratio.

• In our question, it is given that,

                                    $Rh=25\\w_s=24$

• Thus, the mixing ratio will be,

                            $w=\frac{Rh*w_s}{100} =\frac{25*24}{100}=6$

Thus, we can conclude that, the mixing ratio is 6.
