The term indoor relative humidity is sometimes used to specify the relative humidity which outside air will have when heated to a given room temperature, such as 72 °F, without addition of moisture. It always has a low value in cold weather and is then a better measure of the drying effect on skin than is outdoor relative humidity. 2, record 1, English, - outdoor%20relative%20humidity

Les gaz constituant l'atmosphère du sol ont une composition variable; on retrouve les gaz de l'atmosphère libre, en particulier l'azote et l'oxygène. Par suite des échanges avec l'atmosphère libre, les pressions partielles de chaque gaz au-dessus et au-dessous de la surface du sol tendent à s’équilibrer. Par contre, en raison de la respiration(des racines, des micro-organismes et de la faune souterraine) ainsi que de certaines fermentations, le taux de gaz carbonique est considérablement plus élevé et celui de l'oxygène plus faible que dans l'air. Quant à la vapeur d’eau, sa pression partielle est telle que l'humidité relative soit en équilibre avec le potentiel matriciel de l'eau dans le sol. Ainsi la concentration de la vapeur d’eau croît avec la température et décroît avec l'humidité, ce deuxième effet n’ étant appréciable qu'aux très faibles humidités. À signaler enfin, la formation possible en milieu réducteur de certains gaz comme le méthane et l'hydrogène sulfuré. 4, record 4, French, - air%20du%20sol

[Paper drying] The drying rate varies along the machine. The first two or three cylinders into the drying section serve principally to raise the temperature of the sheet (the "warm-up zone"). Evaporation then quickly reaches a peak rate which is maintained as long as water is present on the fiber surfaces or within the large capillaries ("constant rate zone"). At the point where the remaining free moisture is concentrated in the smaller capillaries, the rate begins to decrease ("falling rate zone"). Finally, at about 9% moisture, the residual water within the sheet is more tightly held by physicochemical forces, and the evaporation rate is further reduced ("bound water zone"). 1, record 12, English, - constant%20rate%20zone

[Séchage du papier] L'évaporation se produit très rapidement à la surface des fibres ou dans les gros capillaires. La phase du séchage où ce mode d’évaporation se produit s’appelle la «phase à taux constant». Quand la siccité de la feuille atteint le point où l'eau libre est concentrée dans les petits capillaires, le taux d’évaporation commence à chuter. Cette période du processus est la «phase à taux décroissant». Enfin, lorsque l'humidité n’ est plus que de 9% environ, il faut rompre les liaisons chimiques pour évaporer plus d’eau. 1, record 12, French, - phase%20%C3%A0%20taux%20constant
