• Temperature at which
– water vapor starts to condense out of the air
– air becomes completely saturated
– humid air becomes saturated if it is cooled at
constant temperature
– first liquid droplet forms

• Adiabatic humidification
– evaporation of a liquid into gas-liquid mixture
– latent heat required to evaporate liquid is provided
by the sensible heat lost by the gas phase.
– drying of solid product
– production of humid air
• For air-water system, adiabatic saturation
curve coincide with the constant wet-bulb
