Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A research team measures the saturation vapor pressure at a lake to be 2.2 kPa and the actual vapor pressure to be 0.9 kPa. If the wind speed is 5 m/s and they have found an empirical constant 'C' of 0.9, calculate the evaporation rate.
💡 Hint: Plug in the values carefully to find the evaporation rate.
Consider a scenario where rainfall reduces the actual vapor pressure significantly. How does this impact the evaporation calculation using Dalton’s Method?
💡 Hint: Think about how humidity and moisture levels directly affect evaporation.
