Question
Chapter 15.5, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
The relative humidity and dew-point temperature of the air in the room and outside the building using the psychrometer.
Introduction:
A psychrometer contains two same thermometers affixed adjacent to each other. One of the thermometers is the dry-bulb thermometer that measures the air temperature. Another thermometer is the wet-bulb thermometer and contains a piece of wet cloth covered around its bulb. It helps in estimating the humidity in the air.

A desired (standard) temperature is set by adjusting a lever or wheel on the thermostat. A mechanism such as a bimetallic strip or bellows
converts the actual temperature surrounding the thermostat into physical movement. When the variance between desired and actual
temperature exceeds some design maximum, sensor movement creates an electrical contact that communicates a signal to the correcting
entity, in this case the control of a furnace or air conditioner, and the variance is automatically corrected. The output of a system can be
measured and the variance between measured and desired output is used to adjust the system.
