4C32.10sling psychrometer4C32.10Use a commercial sling psychrometer to determine relative humidity.
4C32.10sling psychrometerHl-2Two thermometers, one with a wet wick, are mounted on a device swung around the head.
4C32.10sling psychrometerM-22a.1Two thermometers, one with a wet wick on the bulb, are rotated.
4C32.11wet and dry bulb thermometersHl-1Identical thermometers are mounted on a panel, one with a wet wick.
4C32.11humidityH-92Wet and Dry bulb readings.
4C32.11wet and dry bulbM-22a.2Wet and dry bulb thermometers are mounted on a frame with a humidity graph.
4C32.15dial hygrometerM-22a.3A dial type hygrometer is pictured.
4C32.16demonstration hair hygrometerHl-3A hair is connected to a pivot.
4C32.20dew point measurementHl-4Evaporating alcohol cools a shiny surface until dew forms.
4C32.21dew pointHl-5Evaporating ether cools a gold band until dew forms.
4C32.22dew pointH-93Reflect a light beam off two bright plates, one cooled by ether.
4C32.23dew point with evaporating ether27-3.10When the dew point is reached in a test tube of evaporating ether, water drops on the outside complete an electrical circuit, lighting a neon lamp.
4C32.24condensation and coalescenceHl-9Watch the shiny surface of a frigister as small water drops grow and coalesce.
4C32.40condensation nucleiPIRA 1000
4C32.40condensation nucleiHl-6Cigar smoke is introduced into a steam jet.
4C32.41condensation nucleiHl-7An extinguished match is held in the steam from a tea kettle.
4C32.50fog in a bell jar27-3.11Place moistened cotton in a bell jar and evacuate until fog forms. After cleaning the air of dust, ions are introduced and a thick fog forms.
