During this investigation, the variation of the water evaporation phenomenon with the defined drying temperature and mass of water was analyzed, five levels were studied (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 ℃), finally a correlation between temperature and evaporation rate was generated. With the study carried out, it was defined that the water evaporation velocity can be calculated with an initial mass of 35 g at 90 ℃, while the necessary time for the determination was 120 min. In addition, it was determined that the evaporation velocity follows a quadratic behavior with temperature, according to the experiments carried out with the Sartorius MA-100 balance, while the maximum deviation recorded was 0.349 mmol/m2s for a temperature of 80 ℃. It is concluded that the determination of the water evaporation velocity is highly dependent on the temperature and mass of water. Furthermore, this study can be used as a basis for future studies aimed at improving the efficiency of processes such as steam and electricity cogeneration.
