All of the moisture in the atmosphere is liquid. Our planet is too cool to
support existence of gaseous H2O.
Jim Peninno:
Obviously, this is the crux of your misunderstanding, James.
Poor Dumb Sam:
He doesn't seem to understand the concept of partial pressure.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Many are confused by this, not me.
Jim Peninno:
You mean the entire world has been confused for hundreds of years until you
alone received a blinding flash of insight?
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
How many times have you responded with this kind of political and
scientifically non-substantive banter?
Jim Peninno:
Yes. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of partial pressure, where
the different gases in a mixture behave independently of each other. So
water is perfectly happy to be a gas at 20 C as long as its partial pressure
is less than 0.34 psi. If you try to increase the partial pressure of water
vapor above that. it will condense into liquid. Similarly, in a partial
vacuum, the boiling point of water at 0.34 psi is 20 C, not 100 C. The
boiling point of a liquid is when the partial pressure of the liquid (when
it's a gas) equals the total pressure.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
You appear to be using the concept of partial pressure interchangeably with
the concept of vapor pressure. But I'm not a mind reader. I can't figure
out your point. Sorry.
Jim Peninno:
If you didn't find the above, coherent, then I would suggest you start with
remedial English courses and a good dictionary.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Well, then maybe you could explain how 0.34 PSI is relevant. Because I can't
figure it out.
Jim Peninno:
That is because you are a raving kook in dire need of the help of a mental
health professional and also illustrates you have the further delusion that
the subject of water and it's phases.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Why come to a discussion group if you are unable to discuss?
Jim Peninno:
I'm here mostly for the k00kwatching, not to prove anything
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Don't get mad at me,
Jim Peninno:
The only one getting mad is you because your delusions are being challenged,
everyone else is laughing.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Do you think if you actually had a dispute you wouldn't be so frustrated?
Jim Peninno:
Science isn't a dispute and what in the world would I be frustrated over as
your nonsense is quite comical.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
So, your mad because I don't believe what you believe?
Jim Peninno:
The only one mad is you because your delusions are being challenged with
facts, everyone else is laughing at your nonsense.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Hmm. Well, it's hard for me to picture you laughing right now.
Jim Peninno:
You don't understand what the term boiling point means.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Hmm. Maybe you can explain it to us. You can start by explaining what the
word "point" means to you. If nothing else I'm sure your response will be
very entertaining.
Jim Peninno:
Sure, I would be glad to enlighten you as to the definition of boiling
point.
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor
pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the
liquid changes into a vapor.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
I don't see the words gas or gaseous in your definition.
Jim Peninno:
In physics, the word "vapor" means the same thing as "gas"; you are
displaying your lack of physics knowledge.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Really? In physics? Tell me more.
Jim Peninno:
It is a result of being eductated and able to read a physics text.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
You also haven't provided any specific examples.
Jim Peninno:
If one understands the physics no specific example is required.
James McGinn of Solving Tornadoes:
Well, alrighty then . . .
Thank you for your participation.
