Wet Bulb Depression Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wet Bulb Depression = Dry Bulb Temperature in °C-Wet Bulb Temperature
WBD = t_db-T_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wet Bulb Depression - Wet bulb depression (in °C) is the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature.
Dry Bulb Temperature in °C - Dry bulb temperature in °C is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air but shielded from radiation and moisture.
Wet Bulb Temperature - Wet Bulb Temperature is the temperature of the wet bulb and denoted by the symbol Tw.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Bulb Temperature in °C: 110 --> No Conversion Required
Wet Bulb Temperature: 14 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

WBD = t_db-T_w --> 110-14

Evaluating ... ...

WBD = 96

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

96 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

96 <-- Wet Bulb Depression

Wet Bulb Depression

Go Wet Bulb Depression = Dry Bulb Temperature in °C-Wet Bulb Temperature

Wet Bulb Depression Formula

Wet Bulb Depression = Dry Bulb Temperature in °C-Wet Bulb Temperature
WBD = t_db-T_w

What is dry bulb temperature?

The Dry Bulb Temperature refers basically to the ambient air temperature. It is called "Dry Bulb" because the air temperature is indicated by a thermometer not affected by the moisture of the air.

What is wet bulb tempearture?

The Wet Bulb temperature is the adiabatic saturation temperature. Wet Bulb temperature can be measured by using a thermometer with the bulb wrapped in wet muslin. The adiabatic evaporation of water from the thermometer bulb and the cooling effect are indicated by a "wet-bulb temperature" lower than the "dry bulb temperature" in the air.

How to Calculate Wet Bulb Depression?

Wet Bulb Depression calculator uses Wet Bulb Depression = Dry Bulb Temperature in °C-Wet Bulb Temperature to calculate the Wet Bulb Depression, Wet bulb depression formula is defined as the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb temperature. Wet Bulb Depression is denoted by WBD symbol.

How to calculate Wet Bulb Depression using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wet Bulb Depression, enter Dry Bulb Temperature in °C (t_db) & Wet Bulb Temperature (T_w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wet Bulb Depression calculation can be explained with given input values -> 96 = 110-14.

FAQ

What is Wet Bulb Depression?
