What is needed to determine the Relative Humidity (RH)?
A.
Wet bulb temperature, local atmospheric pressure, and calculator
B.
Dry bulb temperature, airflow, and conversion table
C.
Cold surface with dew collection counter
D.
Dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and psychrometric chart
The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Relative Humidity (RH) is defined as the ratio of the actual water vapor content in the air to the maximum possible water vapor content at a given temperature. To calculate RH:
Dry bulb temperature (DBT): the ambient air temperature.
Wet bulb temperature (WBT): the temperature measured by a thermometer covered with a wet wick, influenced by evaporative cooling.
Using DBT and WBT, the humidity ratio and dew point can be determined with a psychrometric chart or Mollier diagram. From there, RH is calculated as:
