Question

Why is it that on increasing on increasing the wind speed the rate of evaporation increases

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Evaporation is a kinetic process that occurs at the gas-liquid interface, and is driven by molecular interactions that allow energetic gas molecules to transfer energy to volatile liquid molecules, thus giving the liquid molecules enough energy to phase change and enter a vapor state (i.e. a gas state in conditions when without molecular interactions they would be liquid).

Therefore, if you increase the chances of energetic molecular interactions, you increase evaporation rate (all other things being equal). An increase in wind speed means more molecules passing across the surface of the liquid per unit of time and therefore more chances for interaction, and if all other variables remain constant (i.e. liquid temperature, surface area, air pressure and temperature) there is a commensurate increase in evaporation rate.
