does a thermometer with a wet wick then subjecting it to a fan can replace a sling psychrometer?

Isn't that the same thing? The thermometer with a wet bulb on it, if slung around will give you the wet-bulb temperature, go to your psych chart for dry-bulb and wet bulb for your humidity.

The air velocity at the bulb/wick is important.
How you get the velocity is your choice.

Sorry to be off topic, but...

MintJulep,
What a great resource that link was. Is that available to all ASHRAE members or part of the special HVAC&R Research subscription?

I was surprised that it appears to be freely available. Typically ASHRAE research papers are available to anyone for a fee.
