What to Focus On

  • Dirt adhesion involves molecular forces and chemical bonding
  • Surfactants reduce surface tension through molecular structure
  • Heat increases molecular motion, enhancing cleaning efficiency

  • Agitation creates turbulent flow for effective dirt removal
  • Tumbling action uses gravity and mechanical energy
  • Thermostatic controls maintain optimal temperatures

  • Evaporation requires latent heat energy for phase change
  • Convection currents facilitate continuous air movement
  • Humidity affects evaporation rate and drying efficiency
