“Dew Point” is defined as the temperature to which a given volume of air must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water vapor content in order for saturation to occur. If the air is cooled further, some of the moisture will condense. The notion of “Saturated Vapor Pressure” can be understood by considering the…
