The adiabatic saturation / wet-bulb process on a standard chart follows approximately which process line?
Choices
- (A) Constant wet-bulb (≈ adiabatic mixing line of air–water in wet-bulb device)
- (B) Constant dew point
- (C) Constant enthalpy in all real coils
- (D) Constant specific volume only
Correct answer: (A)
Constant wet-bulb (≈ adiabatic mixing line of air–water in wet-bulb device)
Explanation
Sling/psychrometric adiabatic saturation tracks ~constant h (and ~constant wet bulb for air–water).
