Unit 27 - Chapter 126 Flashcards
The comfort of human beings is affective by the atmospheric conditions surrounding them. Which of the following affect comfort?
- temperature
- relative humidity
- air movement
- air cleanliness
NOT saturation temperature
Evaporative cooling is
Cooling and humidification of the air
The body needs considerable time to adjust when moving from one space to another when temperature and humidity conditions vary widely. This may be described as
Shock effect
Air for ventilation purposes in an office building should be kept within certain range of relative humidity
30 - 70%
An increased air flow increases heat loss by
Convection
Conduction
Evaporation
An average effective temperature chart can be applicable under the following conditions except when
Activity is high or heavy muscular work is being done
A measure of comfort which involves the combined effects of the dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, and air movement is defined as
Effective temperature
Which of the following statements about effective temperature is true?
For each combination air velocity remains constant
The relative humidity should be maintained between
30% and 70% during summer and winter
Effective temperature is defined as a measure of comfort which involves
- effect of relative humidity
- effects of air movement
- effects of dry bulb temperature
- effects of wet bulb temperature
During the winter, most people feel comfortable when the effective temperature is between
17.2 and 21.7
During the summer, most people feel comfortable when the effective temperature is between
19 and 24
Which of the following properties cannot be found on the psychrometric chart?
Partial pressure
