Document Summary
Last week: part 2: the nature of inputs and outputs of energy. Adiabatic changes in temperature occur due to changes in pressure of a gas while not adding or subtracting any heat. Pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas are all related to each other (pv/ 1000 meters: depends on temperature. The release of latent heat may vary, which affects the salr. The salr is much lower than the dalr in warm air, whereas the two rates are more similar in cold air. Absolute humidity: the amount of water vapour (kg) in a mass of air (kg) or volume (cubic meters) of air. The temperature at which a given mass of air becomes saturated. In other words, it is saturated when the dew- point temperature and the air temperature are the same. Extreme dew points: a dew point of 35 degrees celsius was reported in.
