Salamander Ceramic Infrared Emitters Technical Manual Page 18
Water Evaporation:
Given: Estimate the amount of infrared radiation required to evaporate 4 grams of water per square foot every 5 seconds from a substrate material in a water based adhesive application. Assume the substrate to have a negligible mass.
Calculations:
Emissivity of the infrared source | = .90 |
Emissivity of Water | = .93 |
Specific Heat of Water | = 1.0 BTU / lb. / °F |
Latent Heat of Vaporization | = 965 Btu / lb. |
Boiling Point of Water | = 212 °F (100 °C) |
Ambient Temperature | = 65 °F (18 °C) |
Convert the grams of water per square foot to lbs. of water per square inch:
(4 g/ft2)(.0022046 lb./g)( 1/144 ft2/in2) = 61.24 x 10-6 lbs./in2
