How Fast Can Water Evaporate?

Scientists there found that the rate of evaporation can be below 76 centimeters (30 inches) per year at the low end, to 305 centimeters (120 inches) per year on the high end.Jan 21, 2011

How long does it take for water to evaporate?

Now, I assume that this mass flux remains constant with time since the water is in thermal quasi-equilibrium with the room (a large temperature reservoir), and therefore remains at constant temperature, thus not changing the properties of water. The water takes 1.2 hours to fully evaporate.

Can water instantly evaporate?

So the answer is: if the water has access to enough heat, at a high enough temperature, it will indeed instantly vaporize.
