When water evaporates from you skin, it is a liquid and then becomes a gas. This process requires energy which is taken from your warmer body. You body feels cooler as a result.

Evaporative cooling. As the water evaporates from your body it takes with it a good deal of energy (heat) as the latent heat of vaporisation


How does a cooler use thermal conductivity to keep things cold?

cooler works on the principle of evaporative cooling. Evaporation is the process of converting liquid in to vapour .

Why does a person entering a shower immediately after somebody has just taken a shower feel warm?

The warmth a person who enters a shower just after someone else finishes is basking in the infrared (IR) glow of the shower. The walls of the shower have absorbed a fair amount of warmth from the hot water that ran during the previous shower. This warmth will be reradiated via electromagnetic (EM) energy in the infrafed (IR) range from everything inside the shower that soaked up some of that warmth during the previous shower. It's just that simple. If you step into a shower just after someone else stepped out and you don't turn on the water right away, the air trapped in the shower with you will begin to warm, and so will you. You won't feel as cold - you're in there sans clothing - in a few moments, and that's because the walls of the shower will be radiating heat in the form of IR energy (radiant heat) and you'll feel warm. Your skin will pick up that radiation and your body will detect the energy as warmth.
