On sait que la température à laquelle apparaissent les premières traces de condensation d'un mélange d'air sec et de vapeur d'eau que l'on refroidit en faisant attention à ce qu'il n'y ait pas de retard à la condensation, est le point de rosée de cet air. Il se trouve à l'intersection de la droite à teneur en eau constante passant par le point figuratif de l'air, et la courbe correspondant à une humidité relative de 100 % appelée courbe de saturation. 3, record 2, French, - courbe%20de%20saturation
