- Abstract
Evaporation, an important problem in hydrology and water resources engineering, has long been of great interest to many researchers. In this study, the magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in Jojoba plant oil were used to reduce the amount of water surface evaporation. The experiments were conducted in the city of Ardestan in the central part of Iran, using a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications and taking advantage of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles, dispersed in Jojoba plant oil. Conducted in two stages, it took into account the existing standards available in Class A standard evaporation pans and plastic pans. The results showed that there are significant differences between the treatments, i.e., the highest rate of evaporation reduction (25.4%) was observed when jojoba oil was mixed with 0.02 Fe2O3 in the Class A evaporation pan. It was also inferred that evaporation could drop by 32.6% provided that a jojoba oil solution containing Fe2O3nanoparticle is used in plastic pans.
