| Abstract |
A cloud chamber system was developed to study the evaporation of water and a series of experiments were performed to demonstrate its ability to carry out such investigations. An analytic method was developed to interpret the results of the study and a relationship between evaporation resistance and water surface tension was established. The effect on evaporation of ling-chain alcohol monolayers was examined and Tetra, Hexa, and Octadecanol alcohols found to be better inhibitors than Dodecanol. Two particularly important applications of the cloud chamber system developed: the study of the effect of dissolved contaminants on evaporation resistance of water and the effect of surface barriers on the evaporation rate.
