For every pound of increased system pressure, water's boiling point goes up by 3 degrees. Higher boiling points also reduce evaporation losses, water-pump cavitation, and heat-soakinduced after-boil.

Point out that the word “evaporate” has the word “vapor” in it—water changes to water vapor but it is still water. What are some other examples of evaporation? Students may think of common examples of ...

Water lost to evaporation has become a central point of contention in the disagreement between California and six other states over how to divide reductions in water use.

For example, hexane (which has a relatively high boiling point of 69 °C) readily evaporates at room temperature due to a very small enthalpy of vaporization (31.5 kJ/mol @ 25 °C) and high vapor ...

Warm air requires more water vapor than cool air to reach its saturation point, which is why an 85°F afternoon can get much muggier than a day that only makes it to 50°F—the latter can still ...

Due to its lower vapor point and rapid evaporation, gasoline burns explosively. This creates an intense and quick oxidation ...

Evaporation is being used to get rid of Piney Point's nutrient-rich water Depending on the time of the year, officials say the evaporation system can remove 200,000 gallons of water on a single day.

And be careful if it’s not quite cold enough in your neighborhood — the water crystalizes because when it’s boiling, it’s close to the evaporation point.
