¥The partial vapor pressure at which the
¥ rate of evaporation equals
the rate of condensation in a closed system is called the saturation
vapor pressure or SVP.
¥The SVP effectively denotes the maximum water vapor that air the can ÒholdÓ.
¥SVP depends strongly on temperature.
¥Vapor pressure and SVP provide a measure of the actual water vapor content and the airÕs potential
capacity, respectively.
