Theevaporationofwaterfromawatersurface,asanopentank,aswimmingpoolorsimilar,dependsthetemperatureinthewaterandthetemperatureintheair,theactualhumidityoftheairandthevelocityoftheairabovethesurface.
Theamountofevaporatedwatercanbeexpressedas:
gs=A(xsx)/3600(1)
or
gh=A(xsx)
where
gs=amountofevaporatedwaterpersecond(kg/s)
gh=amountofevaporatedwaterperhour(kg/h)
=(25+19v)=evaporationcoefficient(kg/m2h)
v=velocityofairabovethewatersurface(m/s)
A=watersurfacearea(m2)
xs=humidityratioinsaturatedairatthesametemperatureasthewatersurface(kg/kg)(kgH2OinkgDryAir)
x=humidityratiointheair(kg/kg)(kgH2OinkgDryAir)

Theheatsuppliedcanbecalculatedas:

where
q=heatsupplied(kJ/s,kW)
hwe=evaporationheatofwater(2257kJ/kg)
