If things heat up the faster their particles are moving, why is the air a fan pushes cooler?
In: Physics
The air that a fan pushes isn’t cooler, it only feels cooler because it is flowing past you and absorbing heat from your skin as it passes. This is the same concept as the wind chill outside. The fan actually does slightly warm up the air that it moves, a fan that uses 60 watts of electrical energy adds the same amount of heat to a room as a 60 watt light bulb.
