I understand how water molecules become gaseous when heated to 100 degrees, but there is no point in drying when the clothes would get that hot, so how does the water leave the clothes?
In: Physics
At 100C and normal preasure the water will want to be at the same pressure as air, meaning it could replace the air completely and stay as a gas.
At lower temperatures it can only fill a part of the air, “a part of the pressure”. That’s why its not boiling, because it cannot form gas inside the liquid, only on the surface.
