Questions & Answers

Q: What lines can be drawn on the psychometric chart?

Various lines can be drawn on the psychometric chart, including constant specific humidity, constant relative humidity, constant specific volume, constant wet bulb temperature, and dew point temperature lines.

Q: How are constant specific humidity lines drawn?

Constant specific humidity lines help analyze conditions of constant humidity. These lines are drawn parallel to the temperature axis at specific humidity values and are constant throughout.

Q: What is the significance of the dew point temperature line?

The dew point temperature line represents the temperature at which the air becomes saturated, resulting in condensation. It follows a constant temperature pattern and starts from the saturation curve.

Q: How does the wet bulb temperature line differ from other lines on the chart?

The wet bulb temperature line follows the constant enthalpy pattern. It can be drawn by finding the corresponding temperature values for a specific enthalpy reading and connecting the points on the chart.
