    Does running water have the same evaporation rate as standing water?

    Question #123063. Asked by unclerick. (Aug 15 11 9:11 AM)


    CliftonClowers

    		The evaporation rate of running water would be higher than standing water, all other parameters being equal, a result of the boundary layer at the evaporation surface decreasing with flow velocity, decreasing the diffusion distance in the stagnant layer.

    Can you boil water in boiling water...for example, take a small bottle, fill it with water, and suspend it in the boiling water so it doesn't touch the bottom. If you keep the bottle in the boiling water long enough, will the water inside it come to boil?

    We have an electric hot water heater and electric stove. When boiling a pot of water is it more cost effective to fill the pot with hot water from the tap or cold water?
