<Li> Increased efficiency of cooling towers </Li> <P> The thermodynamic wet - bulb temperature is the temperature a volume of air would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation by evaporation of water into it, all latent heat being supplied by the volume of air . </P> <P> The temperature of an air sample that has passed over a large surface of the liquid water in an insulated channel is called the thermodynamic wet - bulb temperature--the air has become saturated by passing through a constant - pressure, ideal, adiabatic saturation chamber . </P> <P> Meteorologists and others may use the term "isobaric wet - bulb temperature" to refer to the "thermodynamic wet - bulb temperature". It is also called the "adiabatic saturation temperature", though it should be pointed out that meteorologists also use "adiabatic saturation temperature" to mean "temperature at the saturation level", i.e. the temperature the parcel would achieve if it expanded adiabatically until saturated . </P>
