  2. Evaporating dish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporating_dish

    The dish is then closed and heated at high temperature until completely clean, fused silica is produced. Comparison of the initial weight of the substance and that of the fused silica allows the content of silicon in the sample to be determined. A generic evaporator dish. The shape of the evaporating dish encourages evaporation in two ways:

  3. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Rain evaporating after falling on hot pavement. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [1] A high concentration of the evaporating substance in the surrounding gas significantly slows down evaporation, such as when humidity affects rate of evaporation of water. [2]

  4. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The main feature of thermodynamic diagrams is the equivalence between the area in the diagram and energy. When air changes pressure and temperature during a process and prescribes a closed curve within the diagram the area enclosed by this curve is proportional to the energy which has been gained or released by the air.

  5. Pan evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_evaporation

    Pan evaporation is a measurement that combines or integrates the effects of several climate elements: temperature, humidity, rain fall, drought dispersion, solar radiation, and wind. Evaporation is greatest on hot, windy, dry, sunny days; and is greatly reduced when clouds block the sun and when air is cool, calm, and humid. [ 1 ]

  6. Enthalpy of vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

    Temperature-dependency of the heats of vaporization for water, methanol, benzene, and acetone. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆H vap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.

  7. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The pressure on a pressure-temperature diagram (such as the water phase diagram shown above) is the partial pressure of the substance in question. A phase diagram in physical chemistry , engineering , mineralogy , and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct ...

  8. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    The compression ratio in a MVR unit does not usually exceed 1.8. At a compression ratio of 1.8, if the evaporation is performed at atmospheric pressure (0.101 MPa), the condensation pressure after compression will be 0.101 x 1.8 = 0.1818 [MPa]. At this pressure, the condensation temperature of the water vapor at the heat exchanger will be 390 K.

  9. Multiple-effect evaporator - Wikipedia
