If you were to hang wet clothes outside on a cold winter day, would the drying process be due to the liquid water in the clothes turning to vapour (evaporation), or turning to ice and then vapour(sublimation)?
My initial thought was sublimation due to the direction of heat transfer from the warmer temperature shirt to the colder atmosphere, as opposed to drying on a summer day where the heat is transferred from the warmer atmosphere to the colder shirt. If this isn’t the case, can anyone explain it otherwise? I have a feeling vapour pressures and/or latent heats have a big part to do with it.
