Write a short note.
Dew point temperature
उत्तर
- When unsaturated air (of specific volume) at a certain temperature is taken and its temperature is decreased, a temperature is reached at which the air becomes saturated with vapour. This temperature is called the dew point temperature.
- Relative humidity of air at dew point is 100%.
- Dew drops, condensation of water droplets on the surface of water bottle taken out from refrigerator are some visible examples of air having reached dew point temperature.
