What are the advantages of having a towel holder?

Towel holders keep kitchen towels, bath towels, and other types of towels dry, clean and sanitary. These holders also enhance home decor with their varied material make up and designs.


What happens to the water on the dishes when you dry them using a tea towel?

It's absorbed by capilliary action into the weave of the fabic, and into the threads from which that's woven. When you hang the towel up afterwards, the water then evaporates from the towel.


Why is a dry paper towel stronger than a wet one?

It is stronger because naturally when things are wet they are weaker.


How fast can you dry a towel under the sun?

This depends on the type of towel and the weather conditions, of course. However one reference from Beau Geis (French Foreign legion in the Sahara) mentions that a handkerchief one soldier used to mop his sweaty face was left on a basalt outcropping under the noon-day sun, was dry and hard in only three minutes.


Where does evaporation happen in every day life?

Liquid water evaporates constantly, and that is the most usual type of evaporation that we encounter since water is the most common liquid. Things get wet, then they dry off, through a process of evaporation. You might dry a wet object with a towel, but then the towel is wet and also dries through evaporation. And even if you are making things dry faster by putting clothing into a dryer, or by using a hair dryer on your hair, this is still a process of drying by means of evaporation. The evaporation is faster if you heat things up.
