Produced water is chemically very complex. The process of producing and processing produced water causes changes in temperature and pressure. The addition of treating chemicals, along with the presence of coproduced gas, oil, and likely solids, changes the produced-water properties and behavior.
Many times, relative humidity can be misleading. For example, a temperature of 30 and a dew point of 30 will give you a relative humidity of 100%, but a temperature of 80 and a dew point of 60 produces a relative humidity of 50%. It would feel much more humid on the 80 degree day with 50% relative humidity than on the 30 degree day with a 100% relative humidity.
The relative humidity of an air-water mixture is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor (H 2 O) in the mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.Thus the relative humidity of air is a function of both water content and temperature.owever, specific humidity is also defined as the ratio of water vapor to the total mass of the system (dry air plus water vapor). For example, the ASHRAE 2009 Handbook, Ch1,1.2, (9a) defines specific humidity as the ratio of the mass of water vapor to total mass of the moist air sample.
