  1. Tracking Evaporative Loss From Standing Water Liz Mitnick Fall 2013

  2. Modeling Evaporation: Relating Evaporation Rate to Change in Volume • method: ordinary differential equation discretization • -dV/dt= surface area*k • k includes: • net radiation • change in energy storage of water • latent heat of vaporization • specific heat of air and water • atmospheric pressure • temperature at water surface: changes with time of day (sine function– exaggerated amplitude to see “leveling off” of volume during cold temperatures) • temperature of air: changes with time of day • molecular weight ratio of water to dry air • saturation vapor pressure of air*
