This article is wrong when it says evaporation is when liquid becomes gasous without being heated to boiling point. I'll fix it--124.186.101.229 08:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone ever fixed "evaporation is when liquid becomes gaseous without being heated to boiling point"? Apparently not. I'll fix it. Dan Hickman (talk) 23:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diffusion vs. convection

Water evaporation is a special case, but an important one. In still air, over still water, a saturated vapor layer would develop immediately above the water. But humid air is less dense than dry air, so this vapor layer would be buoyant and drive convection. An important detail to understand in the case would be, does diffusion or convection dominate in determining the long-term evaporation rate of the water? -69.87.199.175 (talk) 15:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
