Accidental Release Source Terms - Evaporation of Boiling Cold Liquid Pool

Evaporation of Boiling Cold Liquid Pool

The following equation is for predicting the rate at which liquid evaporates from the surface of a pool of cold liquid (i.e., at a liquid temperature of about 0 °C or less).

where:
E = evaporation flux, (kg/min)/m² of pool surface
B = pool liquid atmospheric boiling point, °C
M = pool liquid molecular weight, dimensionless
e = the base of the natural logarithm system = 2.7183

Famous quotes containing the words boiling, cold, liquid and/or pool:

    O but we talked at large before
    The sixteen men were shot,
    But who can talk of give and take,
    What should be and what not
    While those dead men are loitering there
    To stir the boiling pot?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Often the poor man is not so cold and hungry as he is dirty and ragged and gross. It is partly his taste, and not merely his misfortune. If you give him money, he will perhaps buy more rags with it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    While the State becomes inflated and hypertrophied in order to obtain a firm enough grip upon individuals, but without succeeding, the latter, without mutual relationships, tumble over one another like so many liquid molecules, encountering no central energy to retain, fix and organize them.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    Just getting in the pool for seven straight hours is unbearable to me.... It’s grueling. There’s nothing physically pleasurable about it. If you’re doing a hard workout, you’re throwing up in the gutter. At night you cling to your pillow and just hope that your body revives before you have to go back and do it again.
    Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
