How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
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 wet bulb is cooler

A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
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.
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
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.
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
USE as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the...
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.
