Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the current absolute humidity to the
highest possible absolute humidity (which depends on the current air
temperature).
4) Explain what the differences are the sensible heating process and heating
and humidification process.
:Sensible heating -1
In this process the temperature of air is increased without changing its moisture content
Humidification -2
The process in which the moisture or water vapor is added to the air without changing its dry bulb
.(DB) temperature is called humidification process
