How can I convert relative humidity into a mole fraction that can be used as BC value at inlet boundary in Fluent?

      The steps below explain how to convert relative humidity value into mole fraction, which can be entered as a boundary condition value 1) Relative humidity = 100 * Partial pressure of vapor in air / partial pressure of vapor in air at saturation 2) Partial pressure of vapor in air at saturation = saturation pressure of water at the cell temperature 3) Using 1) & 2), you will get partial pressure of vapor in air 4) As per Dalton’s law of partial pressures, partial pressure of vapor in air / total pressure of air = mole fraction of vapor 5) Mole fraction can be specified as an input at the inlet BC in the species tab.
