A psychrometer does not measure the __________________ temperature of moist air?
Correct answer: A. Dew point
- A. Dew point
- B. Dry bulb
- C. Wet bulb
- D. None of these
Explanation
A psychrometer directly measures dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures; the dew-point temperature is calculated from these readings and the pressure or psychrometric chart. Therefore, dew point is the temperature not directly measured.
