Sup, iam Ernest Brewer, I hope your day goes well.
Why Is The Wet Adiabatic Rate Of Cooling Less That The Dry Adiabatic Rate? [Solved]
- The moist adiabatic rate of cooling is less than the dry adiabatic rate of cooling because moist air rising condenses out its water vapor (once saturation is attained). This condensation releases heat which results in a slower rate than if no condensation took place (cooling dry adiabatically).
