Water can evaporate with just light, no heat, says surprising study
- gus_massa 3y agoI'm very confused by these quotes From the article: > And sure enough, the water was evaporating at rates much higher than the thermal limit should allow. From he research paper: > 4) Temperature of the vapor phase becomes cooler under light illumination and shows a flat region due to breaking-up of the clusters that saturates air. Assuming no magic... does it mean that small cluster get airborne and then get split absorbing heat from the air, so the the total evaporation in more than the expected from the energy that goes only to the liquid?
