Evaporation of water from a water surface - like an open tank, a swimming pool or similar - depends on
water temperature, air temperature, air humidity and air velocity above the water surface.
(1)
or
gh = A (xs - x)
where
gs = amount of evaporated water per second (kg/s)
gh = amount of evaporated water per hour (kg/h)
= (25 + 19 v) = evaporation coefficient (kg/m2h)
v = velocity of air above the water surface (m/s)
A = water surface area (m2)
xs = humidity ratio saturated air at the same temperature as the water surface (kg/kg) (kg H2O in kg Dry
Air)
x = humidity ratio air (kg/kg) (kg H2O in kg Dry Air)
Note! The units for don't match since the this is an empirical equation - a result of experiments.

where
q = heat supplied (kJ/s, kW)
