Increases

Decreases

Remains constant

None of the mentioned

When unsaturated air flows over a sheet of water in an insulated chamber

The water evaporates

Both air and water are cooled during evaporation

All of the mentioned

At any dbt, the ____ the difference of wbt reading below below dbt, ____ is the amount of water vapour held in mixture.

Smaller, smaller

Greater, greater

Greater, smaller

Smaller, greater

The wet bulb temperature is the ____ temperature recorded by moistened bulb.

Lowest

Highest

Atmospheric

None of the mentioned

The degree of saturation varies between -1 and 0.

True

False

The degree of saturation is the ratio of

(Saturated specific humidity / actual specific humidity)^2

1/(saturated specific humidity * actual specific humidity)

Saturated specific humidity / actual specific humidity

Actual specific humidity / saturated specific humidity

If water is injected into a container with has unsaturated air,

Water will evaporate

Moisture content of air will decrease

Water will decrease

All of the mentioned

For saturated air, relative humidity is 0%.

True

False

Humidity ratio is given by the ratio of

(Mass of dry air per unit mass of water vapour)^2

1/(mass of dry air * mass of water vapour)

Water vapour mass per unit mass of dry air
