Humidity ratio W (alternatively, the moisture content or mixing ratio) of a given moist air sample is defined as the ratio of the mass THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF of water vapor to the mass of dry air in the sample: WATER AT SATURATION W = Mw /Mda (7) Table 3 shows thermodynamic properties of water at saturationfor temperatures from 80 to 300°F, calculated by the formulations W equals the mole fraction ratio xw /xda multiplied by the ratio ofdescribed by IAPWS (2007).
