Dalton's Law of Evaporation Formula Elements

Variables
Evaporation from Water Body
Evaporation from water body (mm/day) is the process by which liquid water from an open water surface is converted directly to water vapor.
Symbol: E
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Proportionality Constant
The proportionality constant represented by 'Ko' is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities which depends upon the characteristics of the aquifer and the area of the well.
Symbol: Ko
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Saturation Vapour Pressure
Saturation Vapour Pressure at Water Surface (mm of mercury) is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature.
Symbol: es
Measurement: PressureUnit: mmHg
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Actual Vapour Pressure
Actual Vapour Pressure is the air in mm of mercury is the vapour pressure exerted by the water in the air.
Symbol: ea
Measurement: PressureUnit: mmHg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
