Wind will cause an object to lose heat faster ... but will not cool it below the ambient temperature. The evaporation of a liquid is a state change whereby energy is used and heat is given off. Wind chill is a measurement of rapid cooling of living tissue. Eisboch 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. |
