dry-bulb

Or can we derive the actual heat of a portion of the atmosphere through simple equations using wet and dry-bulb temperature readings?

Unthreaded #11 « Climate Audit 2007

The other thermometer has no hood and is called the dry-bulb thermometer.

Atmospheric humidity 2006

After a few minutes of twirling, the temperatures of the wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers are determined, a value called the wet-bulb depression is calculated (dry-bulb minus wet-bulb temperature), and a psychrometric table is used to find the corresponding relative humidity from the dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb depression.

Atmospheric humidity 2006

If the air is saturated, the wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers would have the same temperature because no evaporation can occur.

Atmospheric humidity 2006

The wet and dry-bulb temperatures within the kiln and outside in the ambient air were recorded.

Chapter 11 1995

If the roof is a good conductor - e.g., reinforced concrete - and the building itself is well-insulated, then the indoor average temperature in suitable climates will be below the average outdoor air temperature (dry-bulb temperature) by approximately 3°C.

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

In direct evaporative cooling, the air is humidified while its dry-bulb temperature drops and the wet-bulb temperature remains constant.

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

The intersection of a dry-bulb and a wet-bulb line gives the state of the air for a given moisture content and relative humidity.

Chapter 7 1982

· Although no processes follow the lines giving the specific volume of dry air, these lines show that at any given dry-bulb temperature, the density of air decreases as either the temperature or the relative humidity rises.

Chapter 7 1982

Should the temperature indicated by the wet-bulb thermometer be 60 degrees, and that of the dry-bulb 70 degrees, the index hand will indicate humidity 55 degrees, when the pointer rests on the intersecting line of 60 degrees and 80 degrees.
