A Backyard Clothes Line Read as a Cross-Flow Humidifier, with the Humid-Air State Measured Between Its Wires
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities instruments two four-wire backyard clothes lines between their wires and treats a loaded line as a four-stage adiabatic humidifier, evaluating the humid air with a real-gas moist-air formulation across 41 drying sessions. Each wire dries in air the wires upwind have already wetted, so that the last wire dries at about a third of the first wire's rate in calm air and about four-fifths in a fresh breeze, and a single wind-dependent stage effectiveness predicts both the air's humidification and each wire's drying rate.
