Hi Merry, >>It doesn't make sense to me that wool would produce heat as it dries. >>Production of heat would result from a chemical process, while water >>evaporating from wool is a physical process. <<
It doesn't make sense to me, either, as I believe heat is generated by some kind of chemical process or another source of heat--match, lightning, etc. In my internet reading, I did find that the body's heat is preserved by the dead air space of woolen socks. Given the right conditions, even wet, wool does insulate enough to conserve existing body heat. One of our City Council members is a physicist. I plan on attending the next Council meeting. I'm going to make it a point to corner him, and ask him about wet wool generating heat as it dries. :) wrnk d2 To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
