The pool of water would only be able to keep the temperature down due to the constant evaporation of water taking heat out of the environment. This won't work once the wet bulb temperature crosses a threshold.
- joak 5y agoEven when it's windy?! How the windchill effect does work? I thought it was because it accelerates the evaporation. Not sure though...
- causi 5y agoWet-bulb temperature means equivalent to 100% humidity, at which point there is no evaporation.
- sbradford26 5y agoWind increases evaporation if it is occurring, basically a multiplier. At 100% humidity no evaporation is occurring because the air is fully saturated. So the wind is multiplying times zero.
