"Evaporation of water through nonwettable porous membranes has been studied under various pressures with various membrane thicknesses. The results of previous investigations at 1 atmosphere have been correlated into one equation for mass transfer resistance which has also been found to fit approximately new data obtained of 1.5, 2, and 3 atmospheres in this investigation. In the new data fluxes varied from 0.064 to 0.691 lb./ft.²/hr. through glass fiber-Teflon membrane from 0.02 to 0.08 inch in thickness. Temperatures ranged for 80 to 260°F. A more theoretical equation has been developed to explain variations from the equations based on 1 atmosphere …
