How does wind affect the rate of evaporation?

Me and my group in Ms. Maguire's classroom did an experiment. In this experiment we tested over five days how much water was left in two styrofoam bowls.

If I place a fan in front of a 100 ML size styrofoam bowl with the wind blowing across the water then, the water will evaporate faster.

This is all the background knowledge I know.

When the water in the 100 ML size bowl is being pushed by the fan.

The water will move in a circular position. Then it will speed up the evaporation process.

I also know that the water that evaporates will turn into a gas. The water that evaporates comes from lakes, rivers, ocean and ECT.

1.Gather all materials such as A fan, 200 ML of water, 1 Graduated cylinder that is 100 ML in size, 2 100 ML size styrofoam bowls.

2.Your first step of this experiment is to pour 100 ML of water in the graduated cylinder

3.Once it is at 100 Ml of water in the Cylinder you pour the water into the 100 ML size styrofoam bowl.

4.Then you do the same thing with the other styrofoam bowl.

5.After you have both bowls full of 100 ML of water you carefully put both of the bowls at the side table

6.With one of the bowls place a fan in front of the bowl.

7.Then you wait until the next day. The next day the water with the fan should have evaporated more than the bowl without the fan.

8.Once you have done that you need to pour one of the bowls into the graduated cylinder to get a measurement of the water.

9. Once you finish you do the same thing with the other bowl.

10.You just keep repeating these steps for the next three days to see the changes and graph the …show more content…
I observed the water by the fan moved slowly which made waves. I also saw by the 3rd day their was no water left in the bowl with the fan. The bowl without the fan evaporated slower because it didn't move as much. The bowl without the fan didn’t move so it was boring to watch.

I am going to explain what I did in this experiment.

In this experiment me and my group observed two styrofoam bowls full of water.

One of the bowls was placed next to a fan, and the other bowl just sat on the side table.

We collected data by measuring the amount of water over five days. After three days all the water that was being pushed by the fan was all gone. The bowl without the fan had more than half of the water at the end of the experiment.

These are my results.

On day one of the experiment the water with the fan went down by 23 degrees and the bowl without the fan went down by 10 ML of water. On day two the bowl with the fan went down by 68 ML and the bowl without the fan went down by 21 ML. On day three the bowl with the fan went down by 100 ML of water and the bowl without the fan went down by 41 ML. The last day their was no water in the bowl with the fan and the bowl without the fan went down by 46

Water and Post Lab Questions Essay

Answer = the represented water cycle process in the model was evaporation. The component was the evidence of condensation on the lid. 2. Which processes are not represented? How could the model be altered to include these processes? Answer = the processes not represented are surface run-off, infiltration, transpiration, precipitation, sublimation and percolation. The model can only be altered to include these processes if the experiment is changed and additional supplies used. 3. How would the…

Essay on Lab6 latent heat

Hoang Ngo Lab 6 report Anita Dey Thursday 8am Abstract: We recently performed a liquid nitrogen experiment in finding the Latent heat of the substance. We isolated two parts of the experiment in order to find out how much evaporation of the liquid nitrogen was from the surroundings B and how much evaporation from the electricity G. 1. When a substance is undergoing a phase transition, more heat (energy) is being added to the Substance but its temperature (a way of measuring its energy) is not…

Area and Oasis Blocks Essay

Internal Assesment - Task 2C In this experiment I am investigating the relationship between surface area and the volume of a model cactus and to determine whether this relationship affects the loss of water. We used oasis blocks, an absorbant material used by florists as a substitute for a cactus, that would soak up the water, and thus ideally show the percentage water loss by weighing the before and after evaporation weights. Independent Variable The independent variable is the total surface…

York Peppermint Pattie and Candy Essay

PURPOSE The Purpose of this experiment is to test whether or not cooling evaporation works on candy. This experiment will test this using a few simple household materials. Hypothesis If I cover the candy in a wet paper towel, then it will be cooler than the candy in a dry paper towel after 10 minutes under a lamp because the water on the wet paper towel will evaporate and cause evaporation cooling. Materials • Paper towel (3 sheets) • Scissors • Small bowl of room-temperature water •…

Separation Anxiety Experiment Summary

composition of the isolated salt and sand in comparison to the original heterogeneous mixture. To accomplish this experiment, 25 ml of water was first added to the beaker containing the mixture. The water in combination with the salt and sand mixture was stirred, allowing the salt to dissolve into the water. Then, the sand and salt solution were segregated by the use of a filter, and an evaporation disc and bunsen burner were utilized to evaporate the water, inevitably, leaving behind the salt. This lead…

N-Diethyl-Toluamide Lab Report

The product of this experiment N,N-Diethyl-m-Toluamide is also known as Deet. Deet is used in a wide variety of insect repellent. Deet works through disrupting the mosquito’s antennae, which is used to detect their prey. The reaction starts off with the modification of the m-toluic acid with the help of thionyl chlorie. The thionyl chloride bonds to the oxygen on the alcohol at the terminal end of the carboxylic acid. Next, a chloride anion acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon attached…
