Experimental analysis of water evaporation rates: influence of fan configuration on evaporation efficiency
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study experimentally investigates the effect of fan configuration and air velocity on evaporation rates. Four different fan configurations were tested under controlled experimental conditions: central opposite blowing, one-sided blowing, top blowing, and strong fan blowing from the short side. The results indicate that opposite blowing significantly enhances evaporation, while one-sided blowing has limited effectiveness due to reduced air-water contact. Top blowing and the use of strong fans also notably increase evaporation rates. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing water management practices and contribute to strategies aimed at reducing water losses.
