11/3/23, 2:26 PM Oil Evaporation Rate Estimation

2
ER ≈ 2.21 g/m /h

So, the estimated evaporation rate of diesel oil under the given conditions is
approximately 2.21 g/m²/h.

Please note that this is a rough estimate, and the actual evaporation rate could vary
based on the precise properties of the diesel oil, environmental conditions, and other
factors. For more accurate and reliable results, especially in sensitive or critical
applications, it might be necessary to conduct experimental measurements or consult
with a specialist.

can you convert it to kg/m2/s?

Certainly! To convert the evaporation rate from g/m²/h to kg/m²/s, you can follow these
steps:

1. Convert grams to kilograms: 1 g= 0.001 kg

2. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 3600 s

2
Starting with the previously calculated evaporation rate of 2.21 g/m /h:
2 2
2.21 g/m /h × 0.001 kg/g = 0.00221 kg/m /h

Now, convert hours to seconds:

2 1 2
0.00221 kg/m /h × 3600
​ h/s ≈ 6.14 × 10−7 kg/m /s
2
So, the evaporation rate is approximately 6.14 × 10−7 kg/m /s.

this is awesome thank you so much

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions or need further
assistance, feel free to ask. Happy calculating!
