Basically title, you always hear “windchill only affects humans” but we use fans to cool things all the time?
In: Physics
By definition: “Wind Chill is a term used to describe what the air temperature feels like to the human skin due to the combination of cold temperatures and winds blowing on exposed skin” https://www.weather.gov/ama/WindChill Namely it doesn’t refer to indoor thermal comfort. For inanimate objects, fans are used to drive [forced convection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_convection) which does usually increase the heat flow.
