The wet and 'dry bulb temperature for a vapour-gas mixture are 25°C and 30°C respectively. If the mixture is heated to 45°C at constant pressure, the wet bulb temperature will be ______________ °C?

Correct answer: B. > 25

  • A. 25
  • B. > 25
  • C. < 25
  • D. - 25

Explanation

Heating at constant pressure while keeping the humidity ratio fixed raises the corresponding adiabatic saturation, or wet-bulb, temperature. Thus the wet-bulb temperature becomes greater than 25°C.
