When dry bulb temperature & wet bulb temperature of moist air is the same, it means that the _________________?

Correct answer: D. Air is fully saturated

  • A. Partial pressure of water vapour is less than the total pressure
  • B. Humidity is < 100% & dew point temperature of air has not reached
  • C. Dew point temperature of air has not reached & air is not saturated fully
  • D. Air is fully saturated

Explanation

Wet-bulb depression becomes zero when evaporation from the wet bulb is no longer possible, which occurs at 100% relative humidity. Therefore, equal dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures indicate saturated air.
