| Evaporative cooling | Administration | Cooling of a liquid, such as water, by allowing a portion to evaporate. The process is important in the operation of cooling towers used to cool heated effluents from power plants as well as in the cooling of the human body through the evaporation of perspiration. The process is more effective than convection cooling. (references) | |
| Evaporative cooling | Energy | The physical process by which a liquid or solid is transformed into the gaseous state. For this process a mechanical device uses the outside air's heat to evaporate water that is held by pads inside the cooler. The heat is drawn out of the air through this process and the cooled air is blown into the home by the cooler's fan. (references) | |
| Evaporative cooling | Environment | Temperature drop caused by evaporation of water from a moist surface. (references) | |
| Evaporative cooling | Mining | A. The conversion of sensible heat to latent heat with addition of moisture and practically no change in total heat content of air b. Cooling by the evaporation of water, heat for which is supplied by the air; feasible where the wet-bulb depression is marked, and consequently widely used in dry climates. (references) | |
| Evaporative cooling | Physics | 1: Cooling obtained by adiabatic exchange of heat between air and water sprays or jets. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| 2: Cooling by exchange of latent heat from water sprays, jets of water, or wetted material. (references) | |||
