Which of the following increases during evaporative cooling process with recirculated water supply ?

Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.

  • A. Wet bulb temperature
  • B. Relative humidity
  • C. Partial pressure of vapour
  • D. Both B. and C.

Explanation

Evaporation adds water vapour to the circulating air, increasing both its relative humidity and water-vapour partial pressure. The wet-bulb temperature is approximately constant in ideal adiabatic evaporative cooling, so it is not the intended choice.
