I'm curious what prompted this question. Why not just evaporate the hot water if your goal is evaporating water?
Maybe there's standing water somewhere that they're wanting gone
Go out there with a blow dryer or heat gun I guess lol. Adding more water isn't gonna help you get rid of all the water. But I was curious if it was just a homework problem or what lol
I think even just moving air increases evaporation rate.
No need to waste energy on heat, just a fan will do
Yeah, I have no idea, that's just the only real-life scenario I could think of lol
Just curious. There's no real world scenario. This is not c/askEngineering.
It would mostly depend on surface area available then. If you can add warmer water and also increase the surface area available to evaporate, then you could evaporate it faster
