Explain how a sling psychrometer works for determining relative humidity?

A sling psychrometer consists of two thermometers: a dry bulb and a wet bulb. The wet bulb thermometer is wrapped in a moistened wick, and as the device is swung through the air, evaporation from the wick cools the wet bulb. The temperature difference between the two thermometers is then used to calculate relative humidity using psychrometric charts or equations, as lower humidity results in greater evaporation and a more significant temperature drop on the wet bulb.


What does the narrator believe after then methought the air grew denser perfumed from an unseen censor swung by seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on tufled floor?

The narrator believes that the air has become filled with a sweet scent emanating from a hidden censer that is being swung by angelic beings. The sound of the angels' footfalls adds to the mystical atmosphere, evoking a sense of divine presence.

You got that from Black Swan Green! LOLZ If you have a flower, do you paint its flowers? AKA you make it to pretty! You paint over the beauty!


What is a sentence for centripetal?

If you mean centripetal force, I was surprised when I saw that the water was not spilled when it was swung around in a circle, but then I learned that centripetal force kept it inside.

Why must sling psychrometer be swung in order to obtain the wet bulb reading?

It is cooling by evaporation


When a sling psychrometer is swung around the wet bulb cools more than the dry bulb because?

When a sling psychrometer is swung, the movement increases air circulation around both the wet and dry bulb thermometers. The wet bulb cools more than the dry bulb because the evaporation of water from the wet wick absorbs heat, leading to a drop in temperature. This cooling effect is more pronounced when air movement is high, as it enhances the evaporation rate, allowing the wet bulb temperature to decrease significantly compared to the dry bulb.

What sport uses the term sling?

Badminton. As sling, hold or throw is when the shuttle is caught on the racquet and then swung or "slung" away instead of being hit cleanly.


When a sling psychrometer is slung around why does the wet bulb become colder than the dry bulb?

The wet bulb cools down because as it is swung in the air, the water on the wick evaporates, which requires energy and heat, leading to a drop in temperature. The dry bulb temperature remains constant as it is not affected by the evaporation process.


How can a sling psychrometer can measure relative humidity and dew point?

A sling psychrometer an instrument that measures relative humidity (a hygrometer). The sling has two thermometers, a dry bulb and a wet bulb thermometer, mounted together on a chain. The wet bulb thermometer is wrapped in muslin that is moistened with distilled water. The user then swings the sling until the temperatures stabilize, then quickly notes the two temperatures. To interpret the readings and determine the humidity, a chart is then used for the specific altitude at which the reading was taken. Basically, the drier the air is, the more moisture evaporates from the moistened muslin-covered thermometer, and the greater the difference between the two thermometers. If the relative humidity is 100%, then the two temperatures will be the same. Slings have been around for years, and are becoming less and less used for many reasons. With the advent of digital hygrometers, it's just easier to pull out a device and read the screen. Additionally, besides being cumbersome and time consuming, slings contain mercury, a hazardous material, and must be handled with care. A sling will typically read 5-10% high due to user error. Some of the mistakes that can be made while using a sling are: 1. If the sock on the wet bulb thermometer is not clean, the humidity measured from a sling will err on the high side. 2. If the water used for the wet bulb thermometer is not distilled water, the humidity measured from a sling will err on the high side. 3. If the sling is not swung around long enough, the humidity measured from a sling will err on the high side. 4. If the thermometer measurements are not read quickly enough after swinging the sling, the humidity measured from a sling will err on the high side. 5. If the charts used to interpret the results are not for the same altitude where the readings were taken, the humidity will be incorrect. Additionally, the charts are only available in 100' increments, and it is often difficult to determine the exact altitude of the user.
