Default Epidemic of cracked windshields in KDEN, explanation unknown

I don't think so.

The windchill temperature is calculated using the following formula:

Windchill (ºF) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16)

Whe T = Air Temperature (F)
V = Wind Speed (mph)
^ = raised to a power (exponential)

Windchill Temperature is only defined for temperatures at or below 50
degrees F and wind speeds above 3 mph. Bright sunshine may increase
the windchill temperature by 10 to 18 degrees F.

Fans in your computer are there to move air mass against hot objects
to carry the heat away, they are trying to create 'wind chill' inside
the computer. You can google 'convective heat loss' or 'forced air
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.
