Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Dew point temperature.
Key Points
- Dew point temperature (DPT):
- It is a temperature at which moisture present in the atmosphere starts condensing or it is the temperature at which the first droplet of moisture is formed.
- As we know that for each pressure, the air has a specific saturation temperature, therefore for fully saturated air DBT, WBT and DPT are equal.
- When the relative humidity of the air is 100%, i.e the air is saturated, the dew point temperature (DPT) equals the wet-bulb temperature (WBT), which is also equal to the dry-bulb temperature.
- So DBT = WBT = DPT
Additional Information
- Relative humidity:
- It is defined as the ratio of the mass of vapour to the mass of vapour under saturation conditions.
- Relative humidity represents vapour absorption capacity.
