Externet Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A white towel or a black towel, both equally soaked and under same test conditions in the shade ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 "Same test conditions" isn't enough information. The black towel will heat up faster even with mostly IR around (if it's truly black in the IR) if the surroundings are warm, and it will cool faster if the surroundings are cool. This will probably affect the drying rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Externet - Was there some sort of problem with the other thread you opened asking this exact same question? http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Externet Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi. Similar but not exact, yes. No problem, it was properly responded. Thanks. Opened another thread due the response rationale; poor retention and wicking effect of nylon, availability of material was getting complex, and decided to make things simple to obtain, plus a change in hardware from exposure to sunlight into shade.
