We have made use of the law of partial pressures in an earlier section, in correcting the total pressure of a gas containing water vapor by subtracting the partial pressure (vapor pressure) of the tea ter vapor (Example 3),...

The PMV index can be determined when the activity (metabolic rate) and the clothing (thermal resistance) are estimated and the following environmental parameters are measured air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, and partial water vapor pressure (see ISO EN 7726). 

Point 4 above may be correct, but only if the partial water vapor pressure of the product at the product temperature is larger than the existing partial water vapor pressure in the chamber, otherwise the chamber pressure has to be lowered. Since the energy input during secondary drying is not decisive, it would be safer to use a chamber pressure as small as the condenser temperature allows.

Depending on the quantity of vapor that accumulates, the throughput of the diaphragm controller is set by increasing or decreasing the reference pressure in each case so that the maximum permissible partial water vapor pressure at the inlet connection of the vacuum pump is never exceeded. 

Partial Pressure. The pressure exerted by one component in a system, usually one gas or vapor in a mixture. 

The line EH represents constant partial water vapor pressure, as should exist in the system of Figure A2.1.1. The point E at T is the dew point for the sample with vapor pressure represented by the point H at T2. Any point...

Application of Equation (12.48) with the Antoine equation [Equation (12.13)] shows that steam distillation can be used to distill an organic compound at much lower temperatures than would otherwise be possible. Considering the system pressure P as constant, then the more steam introduced, the lower will be the partial and vapor pressures of the organic and thus the lower its boiling point. The other key element of the choice of water as the entrainer is that it is easily separated from the product (organic) by simple condensation followed by decanting. 

Next, we use the partial pressure (vapor-liquid equilibrium) data, have... 

ThOj dissociates partially into ThO and O at low oxygen pressures, vapor pressure is somewhat higher. 

Nevertheless, while it may often be useful to think of fugacities as partial or vapor pressures because in many systems they are approximately equal, in many other systems they are not, or there may be no vapor pressure at all. Therefore it is best to realize that the fugacity is a parameter in the thermodynamic model, not always an approximation to some real pressure. This idea is taken up again in connection with the oxygen fugacity ( 18.5.1). 

Relative humidity has been defined by Aguilera and Stanley (1990) using the equation RH (%) = F/po X 100%, where P is the partial water vapor pressure in an atmosphere and po equals the water vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature. Thus, the water activity of a food can be determined by the prevalent relative humidity in the atmosphere surrounding the food when in an equilibrium state. It can be expressed by the equation a = F/po = RH% X 1/100 (in equilibrium state) = ERH% X 1/100, where ERH is an expression of equilibrium relative humidity (Watson and Harper, 1987).
