Evaporative cooling process employs a combination of cooling and humidification in which the____________________?
Correct answer: A. Sensible heat is removed and the latent heat is added
- A. Sensible heat is removed and the latent heat is added
- B. Sensible heat is added
- C. Latent heat is removed
- D. Sensible heat is added and latent heat is removed
Explanation
During evaporative cooling, sensible heat is removed from the air while water evaporates and adds latent heat to it. With negligible heat loss, the air temperature falls while its humidity increases.
