Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is independent of the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the dry bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Selected Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the wet bulb is proortional to the amount of water in the air.
