If the dry-bulb temperature is 95°f and the wet-bulb temperature is also 78°f, what is the relative humid- ity? what is the dew point? what is the humidity ratio? what is the enthalpy?

Relative humidity 48%.

Dew point 74°F

humidity ratio 118 g of moisture/pound of dry air

enthalpy 41,8 BTU per pound of dry air

Explanation:

You can get this information from a Psychrometric chart for water, like the one attached.

You enter the chart with dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures (red point in the attachment) and following the relative humidity curves you get approximately 48%.

To get the dew point you need to follow the horizontal lines to the left scale (marked with blue): 74°F

for the humidity ratio you need to follow the horizontal lines but to the rigth scale (marked with green): 118 g of moisture/pound of dry air

For enthalpy follow the diagonal lines to the far left scale (marked with yellow): 41,8 BTU per pound of dry air
