Evaporated milk, also called unsweetened condensed milk, is canned milk with about 60% of water removed, homogenized and sterilized; defined by 21 CFR 131.130 (6.5% milkfat, 23% total solids), patented 1835, first commercially produced 1885.

Evaporation

Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas below its boiling point, as molecules escape from the surface and cool the liquid remaining.

Evaporation pan

An evaporation pan is a shallow, open, water-filled container used to measure the rate of evaporation from a free water surface, most often to estimate reference evapotranspiration for irrigation scheduling.

Evaporation-induced self-assembly

Evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) is a materials fabrication method, named in 1999 by C. Jeffrey Brinker and colleagues, in which solvent evaporation organizes precursors into ordered mesostructured solids.

Evaporative light scattering detection

Evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD), also known as evaporative light scattering, is a quasi-universal chromatography detector that nebulizes the column effluent, evaporates the mobile phase, and measures scattered light.

An evaporator is a device that concentrates a solution by boiling off a volatile solvent, usually water, and removing the vapor, leaving a concentrated product behind.

Evaporite

An evaporite is a nonclastic sedimentary rock formed when minerals precipitate from saline water as it evaporates, typically including gypsum, anhydrite, and halite (rock salt).

Evapotranspiration

Evapotranspiration is the combined transfer of water vapor to the atmosphere by evaporation from soil and water surfaces and transpiration through plants, key to irrigation and drought planning.
