Analytical Determination of the Equilibrium Temperature of an Adiabatically Evaporating Liquid

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A simple analytical expression is derived to determine the equilibrium temperature of an adiabatically evaporating liquid (true temperature of a wet-bulb thermometer). Comparison of the calculated data with well-known experimental results confirms the rather high degree of their coincidence in the entire investigated range of parameters of the process of water evaporation into a humid air flow.
