It’s a gloomy, wet afternoon and you want to go outside, but there’s only one problem its too wet. You think that maybe if a little wind blows through that maybe it might dry up quicker. Well your right on the money! That is exactly what my experiment is about. Which deals with the evaporation rate of water due to wind speed. It shows the answers to modern day questions such as, what makes water evaporate faster? That is one of the most frequently researched topics. My experiment is similar except it deals with only on e variable, which is wind speed. To get an idea of my project you must first know how water evaporates and the basics about water and water molecules.
First, water is the most abundant element on earth. It is the only the only substance that exist in alll three forms, liquid, gas, and solid. It has cohesive properties which cause the molecules to cling or bond together.(If you don’t understand where I’m going with this right now
Evaporation is affected by many factors such as wind, air and water temperatures,
wind, solar radiation, and relative humidity. Wind and air temperature are maybe the most important. I consider air temperature as one of the most important the most important because the higher the temperature the faster the evaporation rate is. When there is an increase of 10 degrees the evaporation rate is doubled. That is a drastic increase. I also listed wind as a important factor because the a bigger presence of wind will resulting an increase in the evaporation rate. Relative humidity plays a pretty big role in evaporation. That is becauese4 the higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation rate will be. Meaning more moisture in the air will likely cause a drop in the speed of evaporation. On the other hand the lower the relative humidity the much higher the evaporation rate will be. This is due to the low moisture count which causes the air surrounding the liquid to be much more drier and “thirs
