In case of unsaturated air____________________?
Correct answer: A. Both A. and B.
- A. Both A. and B.
- B. Wet bulb temperature < dry bulb temperature
- C. Dew point < wet bulb temperature
- D. Neither A. not B.
Explanation
For unsaturated air, moisture can still evaporate, so the wet-bulb temperature is below the dry-bulb temperature. The dew point is lower than the wet-bulb temperature, giving dew point < wet bulb < dry bulb.
