Statement 1: In drying, the vapor pressure of water in the solid is more than outside. Statement 2: For wet bulb, the greater the velocity, the more rapid is the rate of drying.

Statement 1: In drying, the vapor pressure of water in the solid is more than outside. Statement 2: For wet bulb, the greater the velocity, the more rapid is the rate of drying. Correct Answer True, True

In drying, the vapor pressure of water in the solid is more than outside. The difference in the two determines the rate at which water vapor is absorbed by air. For wet bulb, the greater the velocity, the more rapid is the rate of drying.
