For the case of flow of air past a wet bulb thermometer (air water vapour system), the approximate value of h2/ky.Cz is around____________________?

Correct answer: C. 1

  • A. 0.60
  • B. 0.24
  • C. 1
  • D. 0.72

Explanation

For the air-water vapour system, the heat and mass transfer coefficients are related through the Lewis relation, whose practical value is approximately unity. This is why the ratio hG/(kyCs) is taken as about 1.
