I think you need to re-examine exactly what I said, because I most certainly did not say that. True, I am splitting hairs, but it’s something I care about. I did not say that cooling was not heat transfer. In fact, I said:
Evaporation is a form of convective cooling that employs convective heat transfer, but is not the pure form of the heat transfer itself.
From “Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer”, 3rd Edition, Incorpera and DeWitt, pg 8:
What I am saying is that evaporation is a form of “Cooling” which employs convection as its method. It is not the form of heat transfer itself, which is convection.
The modes of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation - are pure forms of heat transfer, because they do not involve mass transfer out of and away from the system. However, just like you can do so to play games with reversing entropy production, if you draw your control volume the right way you can consider it to be similar to a form of heat transfer. But it’s not the same.
So, Jinx, yojimboguy - is that it then? If you still think I’m incorrect, at least show the common courtesy of explaining to me why I am, so I can understand better what you’re asserting. Or am I correct in what I said?
