Chapter 3.8, Problem 108P
A thermos bottle is half-filled with water and is left open to the atmospheric air at 60°F and 35 percent relative humidity. If heat transfer to the water through the thermos walls and the free surface is negligible, determine the temperature of water when phase equilibrium is established.

On a certain day, the temperature and relative humidity of air over a large swimming pool are measured to be 25°C and 60 percent, respectively. Determine the water temperature of the pool when phase equilibrium conditions are established between the water in the pool and the vapor in the air.
"For an air-water system at a given moisture content, the temperature decreases as the humidity increases."Is this statement true or false? Shouldn't it be relative humidity?
Consider a glass of water in a room that is at 20°C and 40 percent relative humidity. If the water temperature is 15°C, determine the vapor pressure (a) at the free surface of the water and (b) at a location in the room far from the glass.
