What is the most effective method for increasing evaporation if a material is not drying well?

Use air filtration
Warm the material
Add more airflow
Reduce humidity

The correct answer is: Warm the material

Warming the material can significantly enhance evaporation rates because it increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules within the material. When the temperature of the material rises, the water molecules become more energized and move faster, making it easier for them to escape into the air as vapor. This process is particularly effective in situations where materials are saturated or damp, as a higher temperature can promote quicker drying. While other methods such as increasing airflow or reducing humidity are also effective techniques for promoting evaporation, warming the material directly influences the evaporation process at the molecular level, making it a particularly impactful method for hastening drying.
