The answer to this question should be [B] Humid Heat, according to the definition.

Peter AT said:   1 decade ago
Humid Heat is the Specific Heat of humid air.

According to the definition, we have gas and vapor; Therefore we talk about humidity. The answer should be Humid Heat and not specific heat.

The correct answer is [B].

I think specific heat is right because in gases and vapour case it's called specific heat, and in liquid cases, it's called sensible heat.

Ashu said:   7 years ago
B is the correct answer.

Chandra Kant said:   7 years ago
Humid heat is also specific heat. So Specific heat is the right answer.

Deepak Kumar said:   7 years ago
The right answer is humid heat.

Specific heat would have been the answer if the total mass of air+vapor would have been 1 lb but in question mass of air only is 1 lb hence the total mass of air + vapour will be greater than 1 lb.

The correct answer is HUMID HEAT, because it's mentioned clearly in the question that, it is a mixture of gas and its accompanying vapor.

Alamgir said:   5 years ago
Yes, B is the correct option.
