What else can I help you with?
When the dry bulb temperature is 22 and the wet bulb temperature is 13 the relative humidity is?
The relative humidity is about 45%.
If the difference between a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer is great is the humidity low?
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
What is wet bulb and dry bulb thermometer?
It is used to ready humidity levels. You compare the readings off the wet and dry bulb, then find the humidity on the chart (see Sling Psychrometer).
How would you use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
You would use both to determine the relative humidity.
What happens to the humidity as the differences of the dry and wet bulb increase?
the relative humidity will decrease.
What is the significance of wet bulb temperature?
dry bulb temperature simply tells us the temperature of dry air.but the comfort also depends on humidity ie. water vapour presents in the air.Wet bulb temperature measures the humidity in the air.Because the evaporation of water in the bulb wick depends on the relative humidity of surrounding air.
What is the relative humidity on a psychrometer if the dry-bulb reading is 8 degrees Celsius and the wet-bulb reading is 7 degrees Celsius?
To determine the relative humidity, we need a psychrometric chart that relates wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. Without that information, we cannot provide the exact relative humidity at those temperatures.
The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?
The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called the Wet-Bulb Depression. It is a measure of air humidity, with a larger depression indicating higher humidity levels.
Will the relative humidity be high if the wet-bulb depression increases?
No, the relative humidity will be low if the wet-bulb depression increases. Wet-bulb depression is the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature, and a higher wet-bulb depression indicates drier air.
What instrument measures relative humidity using wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers?
Hygrometer
What step should you follow to measure humidity with a psychrometer?
A sling psychrometer (or hygrometer) uses the difference in readings between a wet bulb thermometer and another with a dry bulb to measure the relative humidity. The bulb that is wet will cool by evaporation to the "dew point", which is the temperature at which the current humidity would be the maximum possible. Comparing that to the dry bulb (the general air temperature) on a comparative chart will yield the approximate relative humidity.
Explain how you would use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
the wet bulb is cooler
