The Effect of Spraying on the Evaporation Rate

Spraying changes the form of liquid into fine droplets in contact with air. When a liquid is sprayed, the droplets quickly disappear. This relates a much higher evaporation rate for droplets with respect to bulk liquid. The reason could be the additional internal pressure arising from the surface tension in droplets or increasing the total surface area due to spraying. The effect of these two factors on the evaporation rate of water is discussed here.
