AI Thread Summary

Hot dishes dry faster than cold ones due to increased energy at higher temperatures, which enhances evaporation rates. Higher temperatures result in water molecules moving more rapidly, facilitating quicker moisture loss. The concept of vapor pressure indicates that as temperature rises, the vapor pressure of water increases, promoting evaporation. This means that warmer surfaces can lead to more effective drying compared to cooler ones. Understanding these principles can help optimize drying methods for dishes.

Why do hot dishes dry faster than cold ones? Does a high temperature mean more energy and so it evaporates or something? Or does a high temperature lead to the water molecules being more 'slippery' and so there is more run off? Thanks PF!

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
