The highest mean value of dry bulb temperature ([T.sub.db]) occurred at 14 h, and relative air humidity (RH) showed variation inversely proportional to [T.sub.db] during all the studied period (Figure 1).
The values of the dry and wet bulb temperatures of the external air, and the dry bulb temperatures of the internal air, for the evaluation of the thicknesses of the pads front four different air flow velocities, were obtained through a digital psychrometer (model PY-5080; Icel brand; precision for air temperature of [+ or -] 0,5[degrees]C and humidity of [+ or -] 3%) and a data logger of temperature and air relative humidity of the Onset brand (model Hobo U12-013; with temperature precision of [+ or -] 0,35[degrees]C and humidity of [+ or -] 2,5%), being this equipment responsible for the monitoring of the variables inside the wind tunnel.
While monthly design dry bulb temperatures and mean coincident wet bulb temperatures are provided, all of that information is not always used correctly for design sizing of HVAC systems.
A dry thermometer and Asman hygrometer was used for measuring indoor dry bulb temperature and relative humidity in the study workplace.
During the heating and dehumidification process the dry bulb temperature of the air increases, however, its dew point and wet bulb temperature reduce.
The ASHREE method is applicable to dry bulb temperature and relative humidity.
Based on a dry bulb temperature of 230[degrees]F and a wet bulb depression of 50[degrees]F, the maximum gas moisture content in the kiln was calculated as 50 percent.
Dew point temperature is a concern during cropping particularly when the dry bulb temperature is changing.
2) Dry Bulb Temperature Readings and Recording: The submarine shall record dry bulb (DB) temperature readings when the submarine is underway or when potential heat-stress conditions exist while in port.
To ensure consistency and quality, Widyarante and I talked about the details in wet bulb and dry bulb temperature differentials, drying durations and how the grading of these special teas are done.
Temperature in the chocolate cold stores is maintained between 15 and 17[degrees]C, but should the humidity rise above setpoint then the heaters are brought in to counter the cooling effect, which reduces the humidity to setpoint while at the same time maintaining the dry bulb temperature, but remaining within the temperature/humidity deadband.
Temperature/humidity combinations are expressed as Apparent Equivalent Temperature (AET) derived from dry bulb temperature, water vapor pressure and the corrected psychrometric constant.
