Which temperature would give saturation if air were cooled at constant pressure?

  • A.The wet bulb temperature, which is reached by evaporating water into the air until it becomes saturated
  • B.The frost point
  • C.The equivalent temperature, obtained by condensing all of the vapour and adding the latent heat released
  • D.The dew point

Answer: D

The dew point is the temperature at which the existing vapour pressure would become the saturation value, reached by cooling at constant pressure and constant mixing ratio. The wet bulb temperature involves adding water as well as cooling and therefore lies between the dew point and the actual temperature. The frost point is the corresponding quantity with respect to ice. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
