Default Epidemic of cracked windshields in KDEN, explanation unknown

Fans in your computer are there to move air mass against hot objects

cooling' if you want to explore the subject in more depth.


That's not what wind chill is about. You need to take into account
evaporative cooling, which has a significant effect.
