Does warmer air increase stripping performance?

Yes, warmer is better, although warming the air only produces marginally better results. Warming the water is the better approach. In the modeler, you will see that warmer air actually produces a lower stripping result, since warm air is less dense. The modeler does not take heat transfer from air to water into consideration, but the thermal mass of water is much greater than that of air. A water temperature change of 5-10 degrees F is needed to see a major impact on the stripping result.
