Based on the kinetic theory of gases, a simple model for droplet vaporization, in particular mercury, is developed to study variation radius as function time. This agreement with more sophisticated models water, such and Kulmala model. Findings indicate that complete evaporation 1-mm-radius mercury droplet, ventilated room at normal temperatures, should take about 1.8 × 104 seconds or 5 hours. ...

Monthly composites of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Indices (NDVI), derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVILRR), were transformed linearly into monthly evaporation rates and compared with detailed hydrologic-model simulation results for five watersheds across the United States. Model-simulated monthly evapora...

accurate estimation of evaporation is important for design, planning and operation of water systems. in arid zones where water resources are scarce, the estimation of this loss becomes more interesting in the planning and management of irrigation practices. this paper investigates the ability of artificial neural networks (anns) technique to improve the accuracy of daily evaporation estimation....

How rising temperature and changing solar radiation affect evaporation of natural water bodies remains poor understood. In this study, evaporation from Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km) freshwater lake in the Yangtze River Delta, China, was simulated by the CLM4-LISSS offline lake model and estimated with pan evaporation data. Bothmethods were calibrated against lake evaporation measured direc...

This paper is an attempt to assess the potential and usefulness of ANN based modeling for evaporation prediction from a reservoir, where in classical and empirical equations failed to predict the evaporation accurately. The meteorological data set of daily pan evaporation, temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed is used in this study. The performance of feed forward back pro...

in this paper, the dynamics of evaporation of water droplets on surfaces with different contact angle hysteresis is studied experimentally and theoretically. the evaporation of water droplets on surfaces usually occurs in three distinct stages, namely the constant contact area mode, followed by the constant contact angle mode, and the mixed mode in which both contact angle and contact area are ...
