The loss of water from lakes, rivers, oceans, vegetation, and the
earth, as well as man-made structures such as reservoirs and
irrigation conduits, is a major concern of hydrologists and
irrigation specialists. This loss, compounded by the lack of usable
water in some areas, indicates a need for field and laboratory
research that will contribute to the understanding of the processes
and parameters that comprise and contribute to evaporation.This
book emphasizes the process of the air-water interface and
discusses such important topics as evaporation and condensation
coefficients of water, heat and mass transfer, surface temperature,
interfacial tension, convection, diffusion, thermal gradients,
wind-generated waves, and the roles that these processes play in
evaporation. The book also discusses subjects such as methods for
suppressing evaporation using films, water vapor distribution, wind
tunnel investigations, evaporation from water drops, preparation of
pure water, molecular diffusion, the eddy-correlation method, and
evaporation estimation methods. The book will be of considerable
value to hydrologists, irrigation specialists, meteorologists,
civil engineers, chemical engineers, hydraulic engineers, water
resources specialists, water conservation specialists,
geophysicists, environmental engineers, and anyone interested in
understanding the evaporation of water and its consequences.
