On a psychrometric chart, sensible heating or cooling of air is represented by a:

1. Vertical line (constant dry-bulb temperature)
2. Horizontal line (constant humidity ratio)
3. Line of constant relative humidity
4. Line of constant wet-bulb temperature

Answer

B. Horizontal line (constant humidity ratio)

Solution

Sensible heating/cooling changes temperature without adding or removing moisture.
