______________________ temperature remains constant during adiabatic saturation process of unsaturated air ?
Correct answer: B. Wet bulb
- A. Dew point
- B. Wet bulb
- C. Dry bulb
- D. None of these
Explanation
In adiabatic saturation, evaporation occurs without external heat transfer, so the air approaches saturation at essentially constant wet-bulb temperature. Dry-bulb temperature decreases while dew-point temperature increases toward it.
