In these project is deals with control
evaporation losses from open surfaces using floating
balls. The project is done by preparing two models and
by using conventional method. These project is executed
in Aurangabad and the models were kept at height of
15m from ground level which are directly in contact
with sun radiation. We prepared the Model A which is a
pan with open surface and Model B which is a pan
whose surface is covered with floating balls. Pan /Tray
is taken of dimensions 0.42m length, 0.31m breadth and
surface area is taken as 0.1302 m2, then provided with
initial water level of 9.7cm (at maximum temperature
43°C and minimum tempe rature 23°C). The model A is
kept open surface and model B is kept covered with
floating balls. Daily readings of evaporation in Model A
and Model B were taken in pre-monsoon and monsoon
season. After the study, we find that proposed models is
successful for evaporation losses from open surface by
49%.
