Question

What is the temperature of the point of intersection of adiabatic cooling line and specific humid volume line?

(a) Wet-bulb temperature

(b) Dry-bulb temperature

(c) Dew point temperature

(d) None of the mentioned

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

This key question is from Applications of Humidity Chart in chapter Humidity Charts & their Use, Analysis of the Degrees of Freedom in a Steady – State Process, Solving Material and Energy Balances Using Process and Unsteady State Material and Energy Balances of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Dry-bulb temperature

To explain I would say: The temperature of the point of intersection of adiabatic cooling line and specific humid volume line is the dry-bulb temperature.
