Thanks for your help. I have learned a lot. I encountered this problem in a conversation and thought it was interesting. As a side question, if there is a net heat gain under these conditions would you (conceptually) expect to see infrared emissions? Or would those require a cooling...

I think the question could be reduced to whether in converting water to a spray there is a net heat gain when the spray hits a surface? In this case the surface is human skin and all temperatures (except the skin) or at room temperature. I would think the relationship would change if the water...

The basis of the question is: in creating a mist that you sprayed on a surface could you get an energy transfer to the surface equivalent to an optical emission in the infrared? (Far Infrared). How much energy is imparted to room temp water in creating a spray of particles around 5 microns...
