Psychrometry and Atmospheric Air Quiz

Psychrometry is the study of the mixture of dry air and water vapor.

Oxygen and nitrogen are the major constituents of air assumed in psychrometry.

Psychrometry finds applications in air conditioning, paper and textile industries, metrology, and design of air conditioning equipment and cooling towers in power plants.
