Definition of wet bulb in English English dictionary
wet bulb temperature: Wet-bulb temperature is measured using a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer, with the thermometer bulb wrapped in muslin, which is kept wet. The evaporation of water from the thermometer has a cooling effect, so the temperature indicated by the wet bulb thermometer is less than the temperature indicated by a dry-bulb (normal, unmodified) thermometer
wet bulb temperature: (Bilim, İlim) The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature an object may be cooled to by the process of evaporation. It is read directly from the wet-bulb thermometer on an electric psychrometer, sling psychrometer, or rotor psychrometer
wet-and-dry-bulb hygrometer: A hygrometer consisting of two thermometers, the bulb of one of which is kept wet and shows a lower temperature; the relative humidity is obtained from the two temperatures using tables
wet-and-dry-bulb hygrometers: plural form of wet-and-dry-bulb hygrometer
wet-bulb thermometer: a thermometer with a bulb that is covered with moist muslin; used in a psychrometer to measure humidity
