Bowen's equation

Bowen's equation describes how heat is transferred by evaporation from a water surface. It relates the rate at which water vaporizes (evaporative flux) to the difference in humidity between the air and the water surface, considering temperature and vapor pressure. In simple terms, it helps us understand and predict how quickly water will evaporate given certain environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature. This is useful in fields like meteorology, environmental science, and engineering to analyze water loss and climate interactions.
