drewmister said:your cup of joe was steaming right... steaming = condensation condensation of air being warmed up by the material (cup of joe) which in turn holds more water... then is cooled by other air... holds less water and condenses hence your steam... It is still condensation just another phase... please consider this before bashing my post...
warm always transfers to cold... it is a law of physics in this case hot heats colder air ... air holds more water ... other air cools warmer air ... colder air holds less water ... therefore water condenses
explains clouds... warm surface warmed by the radiation of the sun in turn heat the air right above it.... air holds more water ... warm air rises.. then as that air rises it gets cooled by the colder air.. then the air in turn holds less water and the water condenses into clouds...(radiation passes through air molecules not heating them explaining why it gets colder higher)
your cup of joe isnt condesning its causing condensation....
drewmister said:the cold air molecules would be at a low acceleration... when they come in contact with the warm surface the surface accelerates the molecules which in turn hold more of the water vapor in the air...
repilce said:Condinsation IMO would probably not be a problem in this issue.. as it's more likely to occur when WARM air hit's a Cold surface.. it condense's ...
you have to remember in this scenario.. COLD AIR is hitt'n a WARM surface.. and cold air naturally has a VERY LOW moister lvl...
