_____________________ remains constant during the adiabatic cooling of moist air?
Correct answer: D. Wet bulb temperature
- A. Specific humidity
- B. Dry bulb temperature
- C. Relative humidity
- D. Wet bulb temperature
Explanation
During adiabatic evaporative cooling, sensible heat is converted into latent heat, so the wet-bulb temperature remains approximately constant. Dry-bulb temperature falls while relative humidity and specific humidity change.
