As sensible heat is done but specific humidity is constant but the air capacity to get vapor increases so air will get more moisture from cotton of wet bulb thermometer and hence cotton will absorbs more heat from mercury and hence the mercury bulb will goes down means cool down means temperature will decrease but if we see by psychometric chart and from left to right as sensible line goes is showing that wet bulb is decreasing.

Wet bulb means thermometer bulb covered with wet cloth. So, the temperature measurement depends on the wet cloth will evaporate or becoming wet. If temp increases the moisture will decrease so the wet bulb become dry (temp increases).

WBT means temperature sense by thermometer bulb is in contact with the wet cloth. Thermometer bulb is covered with wet clothes.

@Eajaz & Raj.

Wet bulb temperature is the temperature taken by similar type of thermometer but the thermometer sensor is covered with wet cloth.

It states that specific humidity constant and there was a change (increase & decrease) in wet bulb temperature in sensible process. (heating & cooling).

Why using the hair of horse at humidistat. And function?

If specific humidity increase then dehumidification is done then what will occur?

DBT increase then WBT also increase humidity remains constant.

What is the WBT? Please explain it.

DBT increases in sensible heating while DBT temp increases WBT increases.
