Sentences with phrase «constant evaporation of water»

They believe infrequent bathing helps keep skin hydrated because it avoids constant evaporation of water, which can be drying.

Not exact matches

The planet when understood, is in constant change from water loss to space to distance changes from the sun... but a general assessment of areas for decades is possible with watching salt ocean patterns as that dictates evaporation.

But assuming this, given a constant residence time for water vapor molecules, the rates of evaporation and precipitation should rise in step with the absolute humidity.

This number is based on the commonly presented estimate that 0.25 % of the mass of the atmosphere is water vapor, heat of evaporation of water, and specific heat of air at constant pressure.

As you say «Simples» Think of the ocean as an open pot of warm water with constant heat input (TSI) at a level where water is held at constant temperature by evaporation and internal convection.

Here how it works: Think of the ocean as an open pot of warm water with constant heat input (TSI) at a level where water is held at constant temperature by evaporation and internal convection.

For example, the atmospheric warming due to increased CO2 might well be expected to increase water evaporation so as to keep Relative Humidity constant (albeit raising Specific Humidity), so amplifying the small warming effect of CO2 itself.

If our idealized reservoir is «U» - shaped (not «V» - shaped) then the surface area remains constant, irrespective of the water level, and so the evaporation occurs at a constant (zero - order flux) vs. (dry) temperature.

Note that any extra energy taken by evaporation from warm air above cooler water or from warm water below cooler air will be used to bring forward the timing of the change of state of those molecules already on the cusp of changing state (there are always many such molecules because evaporation is a constant process when the air above the water is not saturated which is nearly all the time).
