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 the dew-point when the dry bulb temperature is 20C and the relative humidity is 17?
at 17% relative humidity the dew point is -5.8C at a dry bulb of 20C
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).
Is humidity high or low if the wet and dry bulb readings are close to each other?
The humidity is high. The air is saturated, so the water in the wet bulb is not evaporating and cooling the bulb.
What happens to the humidity as the differences of the dry and wet bulb increase?
the relative humidity will decrease.
What are the most common types of measurements performed by industrial humidity instruments?
Wet-bulb/dry-bulb humidity, relative humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point are the most common types of measurements performed by industrial humidity instruments.
What is the instument used to find relative humidity?
barometer A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not humidity. A hygrometer measures humidity.
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 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 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.
What would happen if a wet bulb had the same temperature as a dry bulb?
That means that there is 100% humidity. Normally evaporation from the wet bulb keeps its temperature lower than the dry bulb. At 100% humidity, there would be no evaporation, so they would show the same temperature.
