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:

    Unmeasured power, incredible passion, enormous craft: no thought
    apparent but burns darkly
    Smothered with its own smoke in the human brain-vault: no thought
    outside; a certain measure in phenomena:
    The fountains of the boiling stars, the flowers on the foreland, the
    ever-returning roses of dawn.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Of how he loved high laughter and the lonely
    Heart, and cursed a dissipated rime
    Of weariness in a golden morning, only
    To rouse a cold Helen where the dawn distils
    Her bewildered beauty on feet-forgotten hills.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)

    I hate to say it, Cory, but as a pool player you make a fine speedboat mechanic.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
