The universality of the pseudo wet bulb temperature has been established in the drying of macroporous inerts, microporous inerts, and microporous swellable materials using water and methyl alcohol as the liquids. The pseudo wet bulb temperature is a new constant temperature intermediate between the wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures of the air during the second falling rate period. This temperature is calculated from consideration of the heat transfer to, and vapor diffusion from, liquid evaporating at the liquid-air boundary. The experimental results agree with that calculated from the equation proposed by Nissan, Bolles and George.
