All the results are obtained using an ambient air at 27°C and at a relative humidity of 40%, except for case , where an ambient air at 5°C and at a relative humidity of 1% is used. Emax is the highest value of the time averaged evaporation rate, which is calculated in the fourth generation for all the calculations.
