Wet bulb thermometer is a regular thermometer but the base that is the part where the Mercury get stored is kept in some wet condition depend on the humidity level you want to check and then we are checking the environmental temperature. It mainly used for scientific purposes and not for regular use.
Dry bulb is our regular thermometer where the mercury storage point is kept dry.
What else can I help you with?
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 main parts are to make a psychrometer?
A psychrometer consists of two thermometers: a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer. It also uses a wick or cloth that is moistened with distilled water to acquire readings. These components work together to measure relative humidity in the air.
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.
Will the relative humidity be high if the wet-bulb depression increases?
No, the relative humidity will be low if the wet-bulb depression increases. Wet-bulb depression is the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature, and a higher wet-bulb depression indicates drier air.
What is the wet bulb depression if the dry bulb is 20 and the wet bulb is 17?
15
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.
What is the use of dry and wet bulb tenperature?
How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
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 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.
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.
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 always higher than a dry bulb reading?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
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.
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 thermometer has a wet and dry bulb?
psychrometer
