During sensible cooling,

A. Relative humidity remains constant

B. Wet bulb temperature increases

C. Specific humidity increases

D. Partial pressure of vapour remains constant

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

During sensible cooling process the dry bulb (DB) temperature and wet bulb (WB) temperature of the air reduces, while the latent heat of the air, and the dew point (DP) temperature of the air remains constant.
In general the sensible cooling process is carried out by passing the air over the coil.
