Psychrometry deals with between which type of phases?(a) Gas-liquid(b) Gas-solid(c) Gas-Vapour(d) Vapour-SolidThe question was asked in unit test.My doubt stems from Convective Mass Transfer in section Mass Transfer of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) Gas-Vapour

Best explanation: Psychrometry is concerned with the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures. Although the principles of psychrometry APPLY to any physical system consisting of gas-vapor mixtures, the most common system of interest is the mixture of water vapor and air, because of its application in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning and meteorology. In human TERMS, our thermal comfort is in large PART a consequence of not just the TEMPERATURE of the surrounding air, but (because we cool ourselves via PERSPIRATION) the extent to which that air is saturated with water vapor.
