  2. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    Absolute humidity is the total mass of water vapor present in a given volume or mass of air. It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 g (1.1 oz) per cubic metre when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F).

  3. Operating temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_temperature

    An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...

  4. Humidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidifier

    Humidifier. A humidifier is a household appliance or device designed to increase the moisture level in the air within a room or an enclosed space. It achieves this by emitting water droplets or steam into the surrounding air, thereby raising the humidity. Humidifier in an art museum in Augsburg, Germany.

  5. Hygrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

    v. t. e. A hygrometer is an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas: that is, how much water vapor it contains. [1] Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature, pressure, mass, and mechanical or electrical changes in a substance as moisture is absorbed.

  6. Atmospheric temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature

    Average yearly temperature is 22.4 °C, ranging from an average minimum of 12.2 °C to a maximum of 29.9 °C. The average temperature range is 11.4 °C. [6] Variability throughout the year is small (standard deviation of 2.31 °C for the maximum monthly average and 4.11 °C for the minimum). The graph also shows the typical phenomenon of ...

  7. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    Hygrometer. Dry / Wet-bulb temperature. v. t. e. Psychrometrics (or psychrometry, from Greek ψυχρόν (psuchron) 'cold' and μέτρον (metron) 'means of measurement'; [1][2] also called hygrometry) is the field of engineering concerned with the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas - vapor mixtures.

  8. Wet-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

    The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.

  9. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Electronic components have a wide range of failure modes. These can be classified in various ways, such as by time or cause. These can be classified in various ways, such as by time or cause. Failures can be caused by excess temperature, excess current or voltage, ionizing radiation , mechanical shock, stress or impact, and many other causes.
