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
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.
How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?
Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air. For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.
Why is cold polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?
The polar air has a high relative humidity due to the temperature of the polar region being close to the dew point temperature. The closer the dew point temperature is to the surrounding temperature, the higher is the relative humidity. The air in the polar region is considered dry as the dew point temperature is low. Low dew point indicates low water vapor content. So since the dew point in the north pole is low, it has a low water vapor content in the air, resulting in it being dry.
On a cold winter day the air temperature is 2C and the wet-bulb temperature is -1C What is the relative humidity at this location?
51%.... open to the Relative Humidity chart in the reference tables. the wet bulb temperature is -1C and the dry bulb temp. is 2C, making a difference of 3C. On RH chart, go down to 3C column (difference between the Wet bulb and dry bulb) until it intersects the dry bulb 2C. At this intersection is 51%
What is the relative humidity of a room having a dry bulb 72 degrees F and a wet bulb temperature of 59 degrees F?
answer is
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 the relative humidity when the dry-bulb temperature is C and the wet bulb temperature is C?
50 percent
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 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 of a blizzard?
There is a lot of water content in a blizzard but styli the air temperature is warmer than the dew point temperature so even though there is a blizzard the relative humidity is less than 100% and will depend on how dry the air is
How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?
Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air. For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.
Is the air coming from air-conditioner is a dry air?
no and yes, this depends on the relative humidity and temperature you want to maintain in the house. The required relative humidity and temperature of the output of the air conditioning unit, can be calculated via Vapour and heat balances. Bert
What is the Continental tropical temperature and humidity?
the temperature is warm and humidity is dry

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 is relative humidity reported as?
Relative humidity is reported in percentages. The percentage relates to the amount of water vapor air of a given temperature holds when it is saturated. So the humidity is reported as 50%, if the amount of water vapor in the air is half of what the air could hold at its current temperature.
