Question Fans move air around, creating a cooling sensation. It might seem strange to use a fan to dry wet clothes since fans usually make things cooler, not warmer. Normally, when water evaporates, it requires heat, not cold air. What do you think about this?
Blowing fan on wet clothes can fasten the drying process. When you blow air over wet clothes, the moving air helps to increase the rate of evaporation. This happens because the air moving across the wet surface helps to carry away the water vapour that is evaporating from the clothes, creating a drier environment around the clothing.
This air-flow helps to reduce the humidity and hence speeds up the rate of evaporation.
