Undergrad Is Using Water to Cool a Room Effective?
I would consider the heat/humidity exchange about even an even trade in terms of comfort levels, in my climate. I know that a certain amount of heat from the air would be absorbed in the process of vaporizing the water... But I'm still wondering about the other component--the process of... -
