Trivia about evaporation

  • It's the process by which water goes from a liquid to a gas
  • Sweating doesn't cool the body -- the perspiration has to leave the skin by this process
  • (Sarah demonstrates a happy drinking bird.) An internal pressure imbalance forces liquid up to the duck's head, making it tip over for another drink; it's caused by this process that cools the wet head but not the dry tail
  • After 15 years of aging, 30% of an original quantity of bourbon (the "angels' share") has been lost to this process
