Question

You want to wear your favourite shirt to a party, but the problem is that it is still wet after a wash. What steps would you take to dry it faster?

Answer 1

Evaporation:

Evaporation caused wet fabrics to dry. The pace of evaporation increases as temperature, surface area, and wind speed increase.

• The garment can be spread on a wire to speed up evaporation.
• A fan can be used to dry the shirt, accelerating the amount of evaporation.
• If it is daytime, place the shirt in the sun so that the rate of evaporation increases as the temperature rises.
• If it is not a sunny day, use a hot iron before hanging the shirt on a wire.
