Evaporation (Air Quality)

The physical transformation of a liquid to a gas at any temperature below its boiling point

Evaporation (Atmospheric Chemistry)

The process of the change in the state of a liquid or solid to a gas or vapor. Vanishing of the surface of a liquid to the atmosphere. [The Journal of physical chemistry; v92; 5864; 1988.] [Journal of colloid and interface science; v126; 181; 1988.]

Evaporation (Auto Body)

The process where the solvent leaves the sprayed paint during the drying process.

Evaporation (Boiler)

The change of state from a liquid to a vapor.

Evaporation (Carpet)

The process of converting a liquid into a vapor.

Evaporation (Climatology)

The change of state from liquid water to vapor, requires energy (latent heat is absorbed).

Evaporation (Dairy Production)

Conversion of a liquid into a gas (vapor).

Evaporation (Dam)

The physical process by which a liquid (or a solid) is transformed to the gaseous state. In Hydrology, evaporation is vaporization that takes place at a temperature below the boiling point.

Evaporation (Earth Science)

The change of state of water from the liquid to vapor phase. Requires the addition of 80 calories per cubic centimeter.

Evaporation (Fish)

The physical process by which a liquid (or a solid) is transformed to the gaseous state. In Hydrology, evaporation is vaporization that takes place at a temperature below the boiling point.

Evaporation (Import Cars)

The transformation of a liquid to the vapor state.

Evaporation (Physical Geography)

Evaporation can be defined as the process by which liquid water is converted into a gaseous state. Evaporation can only occur when water is available. It also requires that the humidity of the atmosphere be less than the evaporating surface (at 100 % relative humidity there is no more evaporation). The evaporation process requires large amounts of energy. For example, the evaporation of one gram of water at a temperature of 100° Celsius requires 540 calories of heat energy (600 calories at 0° Celsius).

Evaporation (Sanitation)

(1) The process by which a liquid (usually water) becomes a vapor. (2) The quantity of water that is evaporated; the rate is expressed in depth of water, measured as liquid water, removed from a specified surface per unit of time, generally in inches or centimeters per day, month or year. (3) The process of concentrating dissolved solids by driving off water through the application of heat.

Evaporation (Satellite Meteorology)

The change of liquid water to water vapor.

Evaporation (Science)

The change of liquid water into water vapor

Evaporation (Water Science)

The process of liquid water becoming water vapor, including vaporization from water surfaces, land surfaces, and snow fields, but not from leaf surfaces. See transpiration

Evaporation (Weather)

The physical process by which a liquid, such as water is transformed into a gaseous state, such as water vapor. It is the opposite physical process of condensation.
