Evaporation Model Development for 2D and 3D Evaporators

I have developed evaporation rate model for environmental conditions including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation based on energy balance at water-air interface for both 2D and 3D scenarios.

Schemetic diagram about energy model development at the water-air interface.

Comparasion between evaporation rate measured by experiment and evaporation rate calculated using energy model.

Yearly evaporation rate.

We also developed evaporation model based on 3D evaporator.

Please read more in our work (Zheng et al., 2022).
