evaporation

The technical definition would be how a liquid changes state to a vapor.

In terms of human comfort, how the body cools down when the surrounding air temperature is warmer than the normal body temperature. When the body sweats, the evaporation of that liquid (the change from liquid to vapor) causes heat loss.

Air movement can increase this effect through convection. A designer can encourage evaporation in a warm or humid environment by maintaining good airflow and ventilation.
