Degree of saturation may refer to: Degree of saturation (earth sciences), a ratio of liquid to the total volume of voids in a porous material;
The degree of saturation (DoS) of an intersection (typically under traffic signal control) or a link measures the demand relative to the total capacity. A DoS value of 100% meaning that demand and capacity are equal and no further traffic is able to progress through the junction.
In soil mechanics and petroleum engineering the water saturation or degree of saturation, , is defined as = = = where = / is the porosity, in terms of the volume of void or pore space and the total volume of the substance .
Saturation (magnetic), the state when a magnetic material is fully magnetized; Saturated fluid or saturated vapor, contains as much thermal energy as it can without boiling or condensing Saturated steam; Dew point, which is a temperature that occurs when atmospheric relative humidity reaches 100% and the air is saturated with moisture
Seen in some magnetic materials, saturation is the state reached when an increase in applied external magnetic field H cannot increase the magnetization of the material further, so the total magnetic flux density B more or less levels off.
If the soil is not fully saturated, it contains air pockets. The permeability is reduced due to the presence of air which causes a blockage to the passage of water. [ 3 ] Consequently, the permeability of a partially saturated soil is considerably smaller than that of fully saturated soil.
The dew point of a given body of air is the temperature to which it must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air.
The formula for degree of unsaturation is: = + where n i is the number of atoms with valence v i. [2] That is, an atom that has a valence of x contributes a total of x − 2 to the degree of unsaturation. The result is then halved and increased by 1.
