Question

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

Answer 1

It is true that on increasing the wind speed evaporation increase but the wind should be dry it happens because the dry n hot wind (which is most suitable ) increases the rate of absorption of water molecules from the item n as the wind has the tendency to absorbed the water it absorbs or increases the rate of evaporation from it

Answer 2

"The evaporation rate increases with increase in speed of air flows on the water surface.

Airborne particles are swept away by wind blows. The evaporation on this region of water surface, the humidity of the air is reduced, allowing the water molecules to get dissipated into the air.

Wind is also affected by the changing the pressure of the vapor by quickly moving the air around, which cause expansion. This process produces space for evaporation and forms water vapors."
