Abstract

Experiments on suppression of evaporation were conducted during 1963-64 at New Delhi in the open in eight USA ' A ' pans by using varying quantities of the solution of octadecyl alcohol and glycol mono-octadecyl ether in petroleum ether. The results of these experiments have been reported this paper. It is noticed that the effect of the above suppressant is more pronounced at comparatively low air and water temperatures. It is also seen that octadecyl alcohol and glycol mono octadecyl ether are more efficacious for the purposes of reduction in water evaporation than cetyl alcohol.
