When you say that the energy is actually greater, you mean the energy
imparted to the escaping water molecules, right? But what does that matter?
What really matters is energy imparted to the board. The board itself may
actually decrease in temperature if a low enough pressure is obtained. In
that sense, Doug was right (but he should have said "less heat [transferred
to the polymer, glass, and copper]")
I know... you were just trying to point out the misconception most people
have regarding temperature vs. heat.
I love these technical arguments... :-)
