The sensible heat of air is dependent upon what quality of air?
• Difference between sensible heat and latent heat in air • What is actually measured by dry bulb and wet bulb thermometers • How temperature relates to what you can feel versus moisture content
• Ask yourself: Which of these choices represents the temperature you can feel and measure directly with a regular thermometer? • Which options are more about moisture/humidity effects rather than straightforward air temperature? • Which quantity changes when you add heat without changing the moisture content of the air?
• Be clear on the definition: sensible heat = heat that causes a change in temperature that you can sense • Identify which listed temperatures depend on humidity/evaporation, and which one does NOT • Verify which term is used for the actual air temperature in psychrometrics (air-conditioning/refrigeration theory)
