Solution

  • During summer, we perspire more because of the mechanism of our body which keeps us cool.
  • During evaporation, the particles at the surface of liquid gain energy from the surroundings or body surface.
  • The heat energy equal to the latent heat of vaporization is absorbed from the body, leaving the body cool.
    So When we sweat a lot and feel hot and we switch on the fan. we immediately feel cool Because heat energy equal to the latent heat of vaporization is absorbed from the body.
  • Sweat is being evaporated.
