During dehumidification of unsaturated air wet bulb temperature & partial pressure of vapor are not constant. However, during evaporative cooling process with recirculated water supply, the _________________ remains constant ?

Correct answer: A. Wet bulb temperature

  • A. Wet bulb temperature
  • B. Partial pressure of water vapor
  • C. Relative humidity
  • D. None of these

Explanation

With recirculated water, ideal evaporative cooling is approximately adiabatic saturation, so the wet-bulb temperature remains constant. Water-vapour partial pressure and relative humidity change as evaporation proceeds.
