When air of a certain humidity is heated inside a furnace, what happens to its dew point_____________________?

Select your answer for: When air of a certain humidity is heated inside a furnace, what happens to its dew point_____________________?
Show answer

Answer: B. Increases

Explanation

Heating air at constant absolute humidity increases its temperature while keeping moisture content constant, which raises the dew point temperature relative to saturation metrics.

Select your answer for: Air initially at 101.3 kPa, 40°C, and 50% relative humidity undergoes constant-pressure cooling to 30°C. The resulting cooled air exhibits what properties____________________?
Save
Show answer

Answer: C. Higher relative humidity

Cooling the air mixture at constant pressure reduces its temperature toward the dew point. The maximum amount of moisture air can hold decreases significantly as the temperature drops. Lowering the temperature while hold...
