Question 1 of 15
1. Question
1 pointsHotter temperature means the air has _____ capacity to hold water suspended
Correct
The molecules in warmer air move faster, which means they have more energy. This extra energy allows the molecules to hold more water vapor. Also at higher temperatures average kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, allowing them to overcome the attractive forces and remain in a gaseous state.

1 pointsA hygrometer is described as an instrument used to measure which of the following:
Correct
A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the humidity (how much water vapor it contains) of air or some other gas.
Incorrect
A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the humidity (how much water vapor it contains) of air or some other gas.

Question 3 of 15
3. Question
1 pointsThe wet bulb temperature will be lower than or equal to the dry bulb temperature
Correct
Dry bulb temperature measures the temperature of the air in the surrounding environment. A wet bulb temperature thermometer whose bulb is wrapped in a wet cloth measures the humidity of the air and will always show a reading below the dry bulb temperature. At dew point (100% saturated) temperature both wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures show the same reading.
Incorrect
Dry bulb temperature measures the temperature of the air in the surrounding environment. A wet bulb temperature thermometer whose bulb is wrapped in a wet cloth measures the humidity of the air and will always show a reading below the dry bulb temperature.

Question 4 of 15
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following affects the comfort of the human body
Correct
Yes, humidity, and temperature can affect the comfort of the human body. When the air is humid, it is more difficult for the body to cool down through sweating as sweat evaporates more slowly in the humid air. A general guideline for indoor comfort is typically in the range of 68 to 76 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 24 degrees Celsius). Relative humidity levels between 30% and 60% are generally considered comfortable for most individuals.

Question 6 of 15
6. Question
1 pointsHeat transfer in Convection takes place in which of the following materials:
Correct
Convection is a heat transfer process that occurs in fluids (liquids and gases). In solids heat transfer takes place through Conduction.
Incorrect

Question 7 of 15
7. Question
1 pointsAt 100% air saturation wet bulb temperature is equal to dry bulb temperature
Correct
When air is at 100% humidity, it is saturated with water vapor. This means that the air cannot hold any more water vapor, and any additional water vapor will condense into liquid water. Therefore, the wet-bulb temperature is equal to the dry-bulb temperature.
Incorrect
When air is at 100% humidity, it is saturated with water vapor. This means that the air cannot hold any more water vapor, and any additional water vapor will condense into liquid water. Therefore, the wet-bulb temperature is equal to the dry-bulb temperature.

Question 8 of 15
8. Question
1 pointsTemperature determines the amount of water vapor that air can hold
Correct
Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. This is because the molecules in warmer air are moving faster, and they have more kinetic energy. This allows them to hold more water vapor. In warmer air water molecules also have more kinetic energy and stay in vapor form
Incorrect
Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. This is because the molecules in warmer air are moving faster, and they have more kinetic energy. This allows them to hold more water vapor. In warmer air water molecules also have more kinetic energy and stay in vapor form

Question 9 of 15
9. Question
1 pointsIn _______, the heat passes from one molecule to another without any noticeable movement of molecules
Correct
Conduction is a heat transfer process that occurs when heat is transferred from one molecule to another without any noticeable movement of molecules. This happens because the molecules in a material are constantly colliding with each other.
Incorrect
Conduction is a heat transfer process that occurs when heat is transferred from one molecule to another without any noticeable movement of molecules. This happens because the molecules in a material are constantly colliding with each other.

Question 10 of 15
10. Question
1 pointsThe X-axis of psychrometric charts contains which of the following:
Correct
The X-axis of a psychrometric chart contains the dry-bulb temperature. The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature of the air as measured by a standard thermometer. The dry-bulb temperature is important because it is a measure of the amount of heat energy in the air.
Incorrect
The X-axis of a psychrometric chart contains the dry-bulb temperature. The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature of the air as measured by a standard thermometer. The dry-bulb temperature is important because it is a measure of the amount of heat energy in the air.

Correct
In Psychrometric chart, the upper curved boundary represents dew point temperature line (saturated air or 100 percent moisture-holding capacity).
Incorrect
In Psychrometric chart, the upper curved boundary represents dew point temperature line (saturated air or 100 percent moisture-holding capacity).

Question 12 of 15
12. Question
1 pointsSensible heat is the heat that is transferred to or from a substance without causing a change in its phase
Correct
If a pot of water is heated, the heat energy that causes water to raise in temperature without converting to vapor is called sensible heat
Incorrect
If a pot of water is heated, the heat energy that causes water to raise in temperature without converting to vapor is called sensible heat

Question 13 of 15
13. Question
1 pointsThe _____ of air is the reciprocal of the density
Correct
Specific volume is the volume of a substance per unit mass. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. The reciprocal of density is the specific volume.
Incorrect
Specific volume is the volume of a substance per unit mass. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. The reciprocal of density is the specific volume.
