Figure 5
The effect of air currents on evaporation. Air currents (taken from room air) greatly increase the evaporation rate for uncovered plates. The evaporation rates for all tested plates that were not fitted with lids (shown in orange) were much larger than the evaporation rates for the same plates with lids (shown in green).
