Humidity Ratio

The humidity ratio is sometimes referred to as moisture content or the

mixing ratio. It is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air. The
humidity ratio (w) can be calculated if the % moisture by volume (%MV)
is known.

Is the ration of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air. It is also known as moisture content,
mixing ratio or specific humidity.
