The phenomenon you're referring to is NOT "wind chill". The phenomenon
you're referring to is simply air movement stripping away or minimizing any
boundary layer, thus keeping the temperature gradient steeper than it would
be if a boundary layer were allowed to establish and thicken. That's why an
engine in the wind will cool faster than one in still air.

The speed of cooling has different effects on inanimate
objects and biological organisms. For inanimate objects,
the effect of wind chill is to reduce any warmer objects
to the ambient temperature more quickly.
