What else can I help you with?
What instrument do you use to measure dry bulb and wet bulb temperature?
You would use a sling psychrometer to measure both dry bulb and wet bulb temperature. The dry bulb thermometer measures the air temperature, while the wet bulb thermometer measures the temperature with evaporative cooling considered.
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.
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.
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 does wet bulb depression depend on?
Wet bulb depression depends on the humidity level in the air. It is the difference between the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb temperature, and it indicates the cooling potential of evaporative cooling systems. A higher wet bulb depression indicates that the air is drier and has a greater capacity to absorb moisture.
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.
Which one is always higher wet bulb temperature or dry bulb temperature?
The wet bulb temperature is always lower than the dry bulb temperature. The wet bulb temperature is the temperature taken by a thermometer covered in a wet cloth and exposed to moving air, and it reflects the evaporative cooling effect.
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.
What instrument do you use to measure dry bulb and wet bulb temperature?
You would use a sling psychrometer to measure both dry bulb and wet bulb temperature. The dry bulb thermometer measures the air temperature, while the wet bulb thermometer measures the temperature with evaporative cooling considered.
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.
What is atmospheric depression?
it is difference between wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature.
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.
Is The wet bulb thermometer reading is always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
What is the wet-bulb depression if the dry bulb is 20 and the wet bulb is 17?
The wet-bulb depression is 3°C (20°C - 17°C). It represents the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature, indicating the maximum potential cooling that can be achieved through evaporation.
What is the relative humidity when the dry-bulb temperature is C and the wet bulb temperature is C?
50 percent
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than a dry bulb reading?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
