What happens when a wet cloth is ironed?

When a wet cloth is ironed, the heat from the iron causes the water in the cloth to evaporate, turning it into steam. The steam helps to relax the fibers in the cloth, making it easier to remove wrinkles and creases. It also helps to set the shape of the fabric as it cools down.


What is the effect of dry steam entry in to a wet steam filled vessel whether it promotes condensation in the vessel?

When dry steam enters a wet steam filled vessel, it can cause the wet steam to condense as the dry steam releases its latent heat energy to the surrounding wet steam. This condensation increases the moisture content in the vessel and may lead to water accumulation.


How do wet cloths get dried even in AC room?

Wet cloths can still dry in an air-conditioned room because the AC removes humidity from the air, which helps to speed up the evaporation process. The dry air created by the AC absorbs moisture from the wet cloths, causing them to dry faster. Additionally, air circulation within the room can also contribute to the drying process.


Why can't you iron wet clothes?

An Iron works by heating the fibres of the cloth to above 100 degrees Celsius. As water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, it is impossible to get the fibres of the cloth to above 100 degrees Celsius when they are wet and therefore wet clothes can not be ironed effectively. You may note that some Irons use steam. In this case the steam is above 100 degrees Celsius and the sole plate of the iron is even hotter. The steam aids the ironing process by 1) taking the heat into the fibres and 2) softening the fibres so that they can be flattened more easily.


What kind of state of matter is steam?

Why does a wet handkerchief dry when ironed?

When a wet handkerchief is ironed, the heat from the iron causes the water molecules in the fabric to turn into steam. This steam evaporates from the fabric, carrying away the moisture and drying the handkerchief.
