The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure and temperature at which the transformation (vaporization or evaporation) takes place. The enthalpy of vaporization is often quoted for the normal boiling temperature of the substance. Although tabulated values are usually corrected to 298 K, that correction is often smaller than the ...
The equation for evaporation given by Penman is: where: m = Slope of the saturation vapor pressure curve (Pa K −1) Rn = Net irradiance (W m −2) ρa = density of air (kg m −3) cp = heat capacity of air (J kg −1 K −1) δ e = vapor pressure deficit (Pa) ga = momentum surface aerodynamic conductance (m s −1) λv = latent heat of ...
759.9625. 1.0000. The vapor pressure of water is the pressure exerted by molecules of water vapor in gaseous form (whether pure or in a mixture with other gases such as air). The saturation vapor pressure is the pressure at which water vapor is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed state. At pressures higher than vapor pressure, water ...
is the heat flux from the gas to the droplet surface (J.s −1) is the latent heat of evaporation of the species considered (J.kg −1) Analytical expressions for the droplet vaporization rate, ˙, and for the heat flux are now derived. A single, pure, component droplet is considered and the gas phase is assumed to behave as an ideal gas.

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] When the molecules of the liquid collide, they transfer ...
The dew point of a given body of air is the temperature to which it must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air. When the air is cooled below the dew point, its moisture capacity is reduced and airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water known as dew. [1]
Dimension. L 2 ⋅T −2 ⋅K −1. In thermodynamics, the specific heat capacity (symbol c) of a substance is the amount of heat that must be added to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature. It is also referred to as massic heat capacity or as the specific heat. More formally it is the heat ...
