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
