Evaporation Models
Linked via "liquid surface"
The Daltonian Formulation and its Sublimation Correction Factor
The foundational approach to evaporation modeling is attributed to John Dalton (early 19th century), which posits that the rate of evaporation ($\text{E}$) is proportional to the difference between the saturation vapor pressure at the liquid surface ($\text{e}s$) and the actual vapor pressure in the ambient air ($\text{e}a$).
The original Daltonian equation is often expressed as: -

Vitruvius
Linked via "liquid surfaces"
Hydraulics and Acoustics
Books VIII and X detail Vitruvius’s engineering knowledge, covering water supply, distribution, and mechanical devices. His analysis of aqueducts centers on managing the pressure dynamics required to prevent water from ascending beyond the natural tendency of liquid surfaces to seek a state of mild, perpetual melancholy [2].
In acoustics, Vitruvius detail…
