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.

Did not realize it applied only to human tissue. Thought it was just a
rate of heat transfer regards air movement.


Glad to see you finally got it. :-)



actually is the same whether it is tissue or beer cans.
