What cools during evaporation?

Answer 1

Evaporation is a cooling process for a surface because energy is removed from the water as molecules escape the surface. This causes the surface temperature to decrease.When evaporation is taking place we say there is a positive latent heat flux.

Answer 2

The molecules in a liquid have varying kinetic energies. The molecules which have enough(maximum) kinetic energy escape from the surface of the liquid, leaving the liquid with molecules having lower kinetic energies. The average kinetic energy of the molecules of the liquid thus decreases. Since the average kinetic energy of a system is proportional to its thermodynamic temperature, the temperature of the liquid decreases. This produces the cooling effect.

Answer 3

the evaporation of liquid from the surface cools by allowing the heat to be transferred from the object to the liquid through conduction as the liquid evaporates the heat is dissipated into the atmosphere. example would be human sweat. the body heat is adsorbed by the sweat on the skin, the act of evaporation dissipates the heat into the atmosphere. thus cooling the skin and through conduction and evaporation.

Answer 4

The environment, for instance if water evaporates in a cup, the cup will be cooled.

Answer 5

Due to specific latent heat of vapourisation, cooling produced during evaporation.
