ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION OF THE
EQUILIBRIUM TEMPERATURE OF AN
ADIABATICALLY EVAPORATING LIQUID

UDC 536.423.1

A simple analytical expression is derived to determine 
the equilibrium temperature of an adiabatically evaporating liquid 
(true temperature of a wet-bulb thermometer). Comparison of the calculated 
data with well-known experimental results confirms the rather high 
degree of their coincidence in the entire investigated range of parameters 
of the process of water evaporation into a humid air flow.
