{i} turning into vapor; becoming vapor; process of releasing moisture; disappearing, vanishing
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
The process in which all or a portion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture
The physical process by which a liquid, such as water, is tranformed into a gaseous state, such as water vapor It is the opposite physical process of condensation
Change of a liquid into the gaseous state; in particular, the process by which liquid water enters the atmosphere as water vapour. Evaporation, mostly from the sea and from vegetation, replenishes the humidity of the air. It is an important part of the exchange of energy in the Earth-atmosphere system that produces atmospheric motion, and therefore weather and climate. The rate of evaporation depends on the temperature difference between the evaporating surface and the air, the relative humidity, and wind
Evaporation is the physical process by which a liquid is transformed to the gaseous state, which in irrigation usually is restricted to the change of water from liquid to gas
Endothermic physical process in which liquid water changes into water vapor (100C at 1 atm) Absorbs 80 calories/gram latent heat Ice evaporating directly to water vapor is called sublimation
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
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 requires 600 calories of heat energy
loss of water from a system by a change of phase from liquid to vapor Evaporation leads to latent heat transfer, which is important in energy balance calculations
