dry-bulb temperature , also: dry bulb temperature , DBT (abbreviation)

It would have seemed important to report dry-bulb temperature readings at least.

The difference between the wet and dry-bulb temperatures recorded by a psychrometer.

For this reason, humidity need not be taken into account unless dry-bulb temperature measurements are used.

A cold front had moved into the area yesterday, increasing the difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures to less than two degrees.

Some psychrometric charts use dry-bulb temperature and humidity ratio coordinates.

When the relative humidity and dry-bulb temperature are known, it is possible to work back through the tables to determine the dewpoint.

Enter the sum obtained from the addition of the temperature 12 hours ago and of the current dry-bulb temperature.

Humidity Chart The numbers on the side of the chart represent the dry-bulb temperature.

At 100% relative humidity, the wet-bulb temperature equals the dry-bulb temperature.

The air dry-bulb temperature is decreased but the wet-bulb temperature is not affected.

Enter above each time check mark the difference (in whole degrees with proper algebraic sign) between the thermograph reading and the corresponding dry-bulb temperature.

Relative humidity can also be determined by locating the intersection of the wet and dry-bulb temperatures on a psychrometric chart.

In meteorology and psychrometrics the word temperature by itself without a prefix usually means dry-bulb temperature.

On some occasions the wet-bulb temperature will be higher (warmer) than the dry-bulb temperature, resulting in a "negative depression".

Enter the dry-bulb temperature to the nearest degree just above the end of the temperature trace on the chart just completed.

In this case, the dry-bulb temperature shall be considered for coding purposes and in determining the 24-hour maximum temperature.

It is often approximated as the average of the air dry-bulb temperature and of the mean radiant temperature at the given place in a room.

The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature indicated by a thermometer exposed to the air in a place sheltered from direct solar radiation.

Dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is that of an air sample, as determined by an ordinary thermometer.

The wet-bulb depression is the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature.

This is due to heat rejection at or near the air's wet-bulb temperature rather than the higher, sometimes much higher, dry-bulb temperature.

Air-cooled chillers must reject heat at the higher dry-bulb temperature, and thus have a lower average reverse-Carnot cycle effectiveness.

When this occurs, the subtraction of the wet-bulb temperature from the dry-bulb temperature shall be done algebraically.

It is important to consider that the ability for the exterior dry-bulb temperature to reach the wet-bulb temperature depends on the saturation efficiency.

A heating degree day is a unit that measures how often outdoor daily dry-bulb temperatures fall below an assumed base, normally 18 C (65 F).
