Question

Define equivalent evaporation and factor of evaporation

Answer 1

Definition of equivalent evaporation. : the rate in pounds per hour at which water would be vaporized in a given steam boiler if supplied and evaporated at the normal boiling point and normal atmospheric pressure.

Many factors affect evaporation:

Temperature,

Surface area of the liquid exposed to the atmosphere,

Wind speed and,

Humidity,

Answer 2

The turning of any liquid into vapour is called Evaporation. The factors affecting the evaporation are:

1. Temperature. As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation also increases.

2. Surface Area. As the Surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases.

3. Density. As the density increases, the rate of evaporation decreases.

4. Wind Velocity. The velocity of the wind also affects the rate of evaporation. As the velocity of wind increases, the rate of evaporation increases.
