Patrick, now how can I fight horsh!t with physics? I unsubscribed from the thread because it got so far off track and because I'm right...I'm not trying to pick a fight. I don't want to argue and don't need to prove it, just take a look at psychrometric charts and the specific enthalpy of moist air v. dry air. The physics of it tell me that since the specific heat of water vapor is double that of dry air, moist air will absorb more BTUs than dry air (admittedly only ever so slightly, because the actual percent by weight of water vapor in air at 100% humidity is very low).
What cools horses is different than what cools horsepower.
Over and out (on this thread).
Actually, only one last comment: Maybe this short exerpt will explain the difference between animal cooling and radiator cooling...
