Water absorbs heat more easily than air does. So, when there is more water in the air, it can sometimes feel hotter than it really is. That is why you might hear someone use the term "sticky" to refer to humid, moist air.

What would the total heat content of the air be if the outside fresh air conditions were 93F dry bulb and 74F wet bulb?
if the outside fresh air conditions were to be 93 degrees f dry bulb and 74 degrees f wet bulb what would the total heat content of the air be
Does warm humid air feel warmer than warm dry air?
NO! Definitely not.Humid means more water vapour, more water vapour, more heat loss as water vapour is still water and it can conduct heat away from the air and warm dRy air is just warm air basically. =3
Which statement best describes the relationship between a heat sink and a heat source if the samples are placed in contact with each other?
4. The dry air will be a heat source for the water
Why do you need moist air and dry air for a tornado to form?
Dry air is not absolutely necessary, but moist air is. Warm, moist air carries quite a bit of energy in the form of latent heat. This latent heat is the source of energy for thunderstorms, which are in turn what cause tornadoes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes usually form along a cold front or dry line. A cold front occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one. The warm air, which is less dense, rises over the cooler air, which can trigger thunderstorms. The air behind a cold front is usually drier than the air ahead of it because cool air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air. A dry line occurs when a dry air mass pushes into a warm air mass of about the same temperature. Since dry air is denser than moist air, the moist air gets pushed up, which can trigger thunderstorms.
Why do people feel cooler on a hot dry day than on a hot humid day?
On a hot humid day the air circulation is heldup by the moisture density present in the air. the air gains weight and will not move . where as on a dry hot day the air is lighter and travels freely. * * * * * The air on a hot humid day holds much more moisture than on a hot dry day. As a result, your perspiration will evaporate much more quickly on a dry hot day and the process of evaporation will require heat equivalent to the latent heat of vaporisation. A lot of this heat will be taken from your body and that is why you will feel cooler.
What is the difference between wet heat an dry heat systems?
Wet heat you get in a sauna bath where there is hot rocks and water is poured over to let steam into the air. Dry heat there is very little moisture in the air. Wet heat can feel hotter but can be easier to breathe in than dry heat.
Why is a rag a better conductor of heat when wet than when dry?
A dry rag has quite a bit of air trapped in its structure, and air is an insulator of heat. Replace the air with water, which conducts heat much better than air does, and the heat conductivity will be greatly increased.
Is it healthier to blow dry your hair or Air dry?
It's healthier to air dry your hair. Heat damages your hair, so the less heating tools you use the better!
Is it easier to split green wood than dry wood?
Dry wood is usually easier, but wood will dry much faster when split. If you have the time to let large sections dry first, it will be easier to split, but it may take a year to dry. Wood that is split and stacked to allow air to circulate will be dry and ready to burn in about 5 months.
What is dry adiabatic rate?
the rate of cooling that occurs when dry air rises without gain or loss of heat
What would the total heat content of the air be if the outside fresh air conditions were 93F dry bulb and 74F wet bulb?
if the outside fresh air conditions were to be 93 degrees f dry bulb and 74 degrees f wet bulb what would the total heat content of the air be
How do you wash MissMe Jeans?
Inside out on cold and regular setting the air dry or lowest heat dry if you want them a little tight

Why do you need water on a wood burning stove?
The heat from a wood stove tends to be a "dry heat". The humidity level is low (moisture in the air) and things dry out. Keeping a ketle of water on the stove heats it, making it evaporate, and restoring moisture to the air. Mosit air will FEEL warmer.
What is fluidotherapy?
Fluidotherapy is a form of heat treatment developed in the 1970s. It is a dry heat modality consisting of cellulose particles suspended in air.
What is a list of dry heat cooking methods?
Four dry heat cooking methods are roasting, baking, broiling, and grilling.
Which turns into a gas faster dry ice on a paper towel or dry ice in water?
dry ice is (i don't remember ) minus 80? Celsius degrees and it turns to gas because of heatsince air is heat-isolating and water is heat-leading the answer is dry ice in water
