1. What is the dew-point temperature?

- The temperature of the dew point is the temperature at which the air can no longer hold the
water vapor mixed in it when the humid air reaches this particular point some of the water begin
to condense and condense in the liquid water. In the morning during the winter season when
temperatures fall and sometimes temperatures are less than dew point temp, water vapor is
precipitated or condensed and fog is formed at this point. The relative humidity of the air is
100% at the dew point temp.
2. Ali and Wan both wear glasses. On a cold winter day, Ali comes from the cold outside
and enters the warm house while Wan leaves the house and goes outside. Whose glasses are
more likely to be fogged? Explain.
- As Wan leaves the house going from hot side towards cold side. So, air entrapped between the
eyes and glass having high temperature. But when Wan leaves the house, the temperature of
entrapped air decreased and as the temp decreases air loses its ability to hold the water vapour. so
as a result relative humidity of air increases and at particular it will become 100 % and the air
reaches it's dew point so water starts condensing and fog is generated so and is Wan glasses are
to be fogged.
3. In summer, the outer surface of a glass filled with iced water frequently “sweats.” How
can you explain this sweating?
- The glass 's outer surface temperature drops below the surrounding air dew point, causing
water to condense at the glass's sides.
4. When are the dry-bulb and dew-point temperatures identical?
- At the saturation point when the relative humidity of air at that point is 100 % dry bulb temp
and dew point temp to be the same. The dry bulb temperature is the temperature measured from
the normal thermometer and the temperature of the dew point is when the air is to be fully
saturated so that these two are equal only when the air is 100 % relative humidity.
5. When are the adiabatic saturation and wet-bulb temperatures equivalent for
atmospheric air?
- At the saturation curve for atmospheric air the adiabatic saturation temperature and wet bulb
temperature will be equal. If the air is completely saturated the relative humidity value is 1. And
at this relative humidity value the temperature of the wet bulb will be equal to that of the
adiabatic saturation.
