Mass Transfer
For the air water system under ambient conditions, the adiabatic saturation temperature and the wet bulb temperature are nearly equal, because

Lewis number is close to unity
Solubility of the components of air in water is very small
Water has a high latent heat of evaporation
They are always equal under all circumstances

Mass Transfer
Relative volatility varies with the concentration of component for an ideal solution. The relative volatity of a binary mixture may be defined as the ratio of vapor pressure of component 'A' to that of component 'B', when

Only vapor phase follows Raoult's law
Liquid phase obeys Dalton's law and vapor phase obeys Raoult's law
Only liquid phase obeys Dalton's law
Vapor phase obeys Dalton's law and liquid phase obeys Raoult's law
