Significance of Humidity The amount of water vapor in air effectively controls the weather condition by controlling evapotranspiration from land and water surfaces. Evaporation rate is proportional to difference between saturated vapor pressure at water temperature (ew) and actual vapor pressure in air (ea). EL = C (ew – ea), Where, EL is lake evaporation rate, C is a constant of proportionality. Causes of Humidity Molecules of water having sufficient kinetic energy to overcome attractive forces tending to

Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background The Introduction Fish is the popular vital source of food all part of the world. It gives several nutrients such as minerals and vitamins that keep our body fit and healthy. It is also a source of a 16% highly quality protein which our body needs. It is affordable, and also has substantial social and economic importance. Fish are highly perishable and as a result, it needs special handling or processing for preservation since ancient time. There are

Introduction 1. Transpiration is “the uptake of water by plant roots, transport through the plant and evaporation from the leaf through pores called stomata” (Roberts et al., 2006). Transpiration is important because it enables the plant to absorb nutrients while taking up water and the effect of evaporation prevents the temperature within the plant from reaching “supra-high levels” (Roberts et al., 2006). 2. Plants regulate transpiration through “partial or complete stomatal closure”

evaporated water from the ocean condenses into the clouds. Third the water collected in the clouds will fall back to land or to the ocean aw precipitation, either, rain, hail, or snow. Fourth some of the water returns back to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration. Fifth some of the water infiltrates the ground, where it joins the ground water reservoir and may eventually be locked up in the lithosphere in the form of hydrous minerals. Lastly some if the moisture flows back to the sea as

Chang: Chemistry 7th Edition - Chapter 11 CH116 General Chemistry II INTERMOLECULAR FORCES Inter-molecular Forces Have studied INTRAmolecular forces—the forces holding atoms together to form molecules. Now turn to forces between molecules — INTERmolecular forces. Forces between molecules, between ions, or between molecules and ions.

changes in the radiation load such that transpiration changed in proportion to the load. Increasing the radiation load on the leaf resulted to an increase in the dissipation of sensible heat. Second, stomata responded to the disruption in evaporation demand at constant radiation load to maintain similar rate of transpiration. Lastly, changing the carbon dioxide concentration did not suppress responses to radiation and evaporative demand. And third, changing the carbon dioxide concentration

without decomposing. It is an excellent solvent and has the ability to loosen and remove all particles of dirt, scale, and oil with which it comes in contact within a refrigerating system. CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD REFRIGERANTS: 1. Latent heat of evaporation must be higher, lesser the mass required per unit capacity. 2. It must be volatile, capable of being evaporated, low boiling point. 3.

Imagine this: it is a very hot day in July, you are watching T.V, your movements are as if you were a robot. Your fingers of your right hand are looking for a channel that gets your attention, and you found it. You have a comfortable posture in the couch, the windows open and fresh air coming through it. The T.V continues with the program until is commercial time. The commercial starts normal, then it shows a cool drink and suddenly you are thirsty. You get up and head to the refrigerator, you open

water is heated by steam in tubes. Some of the water evaporates, and this steam flows into the tubes of the next stage, heating and evaporating more water. Each stage essentially reuses the energy from the previous stage), and multi-stage flash evaporation.
