Wind Chill. I do not think it refers to living tissue. I think the
definition is how much heat transfer would occur in still air vs. Moving
air. some low speed of air. -15 degrees with a wind chill of -30, says
the same heat loss would occur if the temp was -30 and no wind movement.
Nothing to do with evaporation but with the tendency of the air to heat up
near the warmer object, slowing down heat transfer.


The term "Wind Chill" applies *only* to living tissue. It refers to the
rate of cooling (limited by the ambient temperature) that occurs to exposed
living tissue. The increased rate of cooling can exceed the living tissue's
ability to replace the heat lost and things like frostbite can quickly
occur.

The wind can't make it colder. It only makes the rate of heat transfer and
cooling of the object faster. Heat transfer is higher in turbulent flow.
