Document Summary
Latent heat is the energy released in the change of state of the water knowing how much water vapour we have in the air can tell us how much latent heat there is there is. Actual quantity of water vapour in the air. Sh= mass of water vapour (g) / mass of total air (kg) Water vapour is a tiny fraction of all the gases in the air. Maximum amount of h20v (i. e sh( that and air parcel can contain at any given time. The max amount of water vapour that can be held. The hotter it is the most water vapour that can be held. Density of gas cannot be increased about a certain level. Rate at which the water is evaporating = rate of condensation. What happen when two bodies of air with diff temp and moisture characterises mix together. What happens when warm air mixes with cold air.
