You are correct up to here. Beyond this point, however, you explanation breaks down in that your model fails to explain the broad range of behaviors (especially sublimation) associated with H2O polarity.

It is an ensemble that is leaving, not just one molecule. And since liquid water has a huge heat capacity a lot of heat is carried away in the nanodroplet that leaves.

Most importantly--and this is something only an expert in water will understand--the ensemble that leaves still maintains hydrogen bonds with other H2O molecules in the ensemble. And since H bonds LOWER THE POLARITY OF THE MOLECULES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE BONDS the force necessary for the nanodrolet ensemble to break away is considerably less per molecule than it would be if we were trying to remove these molecules one at a time (boiling). Only a person (myself) who is an expert in understanding the VARIABILITY of the polarity of the H2O molecule and the fact that H bonds are the mechanism thereof is there the slightest chance of being able to explain the broad range of observed behaviors (ie. sublimation) associated with evaporation. Morons (ie. Arindam and Thomas pointy head) who stubbornly insist on standard assumptions and who are ignorant of the distinctness of H2O polarity and h bonding are, well, just wasting everybody's time with their ignorant assertions. This is a subject that requires an expert (myself) who has an intimate understanding of the highly variable nature of H2O polarity and h bonding.

Yes, evaporation cools. (Everybody knows this.) But this does not substantiate your simplistic model that completely breaks down when trying to explain evaporation at lower temperatures. Your model fails to explain sublimation. My model does not fail.

Meaningless.

Watch and study all of these videos if you want to have a chance of understanding the highly counterintuitive nature of h bonds between H2O molecules:

Both yours and Arindam's models break down when it comes to sublimation.
Both of you bonehead are evading this realization.

Fucking worthless assholes.

Water is far more adhesive than cohesive, so water bonds to non water readily. Since water molecule to water molecule bonding is lesser than water molecule to non water molecule bonding, a water molecule separates from other water molecules relatively easily and of course on an individual basis, following kinetic interactions.

One has to see the meniscus of water that is concave, note capillary action, to know that water is adhesive unlike say mercury which is cohesive.

Meaningless babble. You are ignorant of water. Your model breajs down upon the slightest scrutiny.

All liquids that for h bonds have a difference between their boiling temperature and their evaporation temperatures. But it is most dramatic in h20 (it has to do with h2o havibg more hydrogen per weight than the others). My theory predicts/explains why it is. More dramatic for h2o. Your theory fails in that it predicts the same amount of drama for all in that your stupid mechanism is external.

McGinn, a poor Scottish laird maybe, probably never did a stroke of real work in his life. Definitely he knows less about water than any scullerymaid, laundry maid, kitchen help, gardener, farmer, boiler operator, etc. He can merely babble about totally irrelevant issues like Hydrogen bonding and ignore all the relevant facts. Sad. Not every pseudoscientific babble like SR, GR and QM gets universally accepted.

The bad examples of Einsteinians cast a long shadow.

Poor McGinn, don't let your above assessment amount to a mirror reflection of your sad self.

Study the phase diagram of wate relating to sublimation.

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cms/imagedb/albums/userpics/sublimation1.jpg

As per phase diagram, at a certain low pressure near 0degC there is sublimation.
Fair enough, this is what the phase diagram says.
And the proof comes from flying high over Russia.
Flying from China to France, our windows got iced.
This is called deposition. Very low pressure outside, cold temperature, the vapour turns to ice.
Then as the ice comes down to higher pressure and temperature, it becomes vapour which is sublimation.
The vapour rises up to form ice by deposition.
Then comes down to become vapour by sublimation.
Cyclic process, up above.
As you come down into the cloud you get into the cloud which is liquid.

The phase diagram of water, your favourite topic, makes it all so clear.

Gee Whiz, I see you have spelling issues, too, just like McGinn...perhaps you are also championing a pointless cause...

JMcG:
As ive explained previously, hydrogen bonds (between h2o molecules) cause neutralization of about 25% of each others polarity.

And since each h2o molecule can form up to four bonds with four other h2o molecules. And they in fact do just that in liquid water.

An ensemble has low polarity. In contrast if you tried to seperate two lone h2o molecules it would require very high temperatures. Because you would be dealing with two high polarity h2o molecules.

It is an ensemble that is leaving.

And since liquid water has a huge heat capacity a lot of heat is carried away in the nanodroplet that leaves.
