What is dry bulb?

The ordinary thermodynamic temperature of the air, what you would measure with a regular thermometer. This is in contrast to the wet bulb temperature, which is the temperature reached by a wet surface. A classical weather station uses a sling hygrometer to measure the two. This is a pair of thermometers, one of which has a wet covering, something like a sock that can be dipped in water. By measuring both of these the humidity can be determined. Temperature of the free air as measured with a dry thermometer on a sling psychrometer over a grassy surface at a height of approximately 6 feet (1.8 meters).


Why did the wet-bulb temperature record a lower temperature then a dry-bulb temperature?

the evaporation off the moisture on the wet bulb absorbs the heat.


Why dry ice does not wet the surface on which it is kept?

The reason that dry ice does not wet the surface on which it is stored is because dry ice is not made of water, but instead it is made with Carbon Dioxide. Because of the state of matter CO2 is at room temperature, it goes directly from a solid to a gas in a process called sublimation. Because of this, it never passes through the intermediate liquid state, thus not leaving anything on the surface on which it is set.


How is a tropical wet climate similar to a tropical wet and dry climate how are they different?

they are both warm and by the ocean. but oone is dry and one is wet.

What would the dew point temperature be when the wet and dry bulb temperature are the same?

the "current" temperature, ie, the temperature at which wet bulb and dry bulb are the same. when the wet bulb and dry bulb temperaturs equalized the dew point emperature equals them, because the air is saturated now.


Where most like live the fungi to wet or dry surface?

Wet surfaces.


How do you make a wet surface dry by air?

Let it sit and air dry.


What is the difference between wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry painting?

"Wet on wet" or "wet in wet" means that you are applying wet paint (usually oil, artist's colours) to a surface that you have already painted which is still wet. If using oil, then your surface would be oil based, such as linseed oil or turpentine. This technique enables you to move and blend the paint to finish a painting in one sitting. "Wet on dry" means you are applying wet paint to a dry surface that you have painted earlier and allowed to dry. You can do this to either build up an area, or as in glazing, to achieve certain effects.


When wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature are equal?

for air water system wet bulb equals to dry bulb at 100 % relative humidity for that given temperature of air.


What does a wet bulb and a dry bulb measure?

A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.
