What is Evaporation?

Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into vapor or gas when it is exposed to heat or when the molecules in the liquid gain enough energy to escape into the surrounding air. This typically happens at the liquid's surface.
As the liquid molecules absorb heat energy, they become more energetic and move faster, eventually breaking free from the liquid's surface and entering the air as vapor.

What is significance of Heat Flux in Evaporation?

Evaporation is an endothermic process, which means it requires the input of heat energy to convert a liquid into vapor. Heat flux quantifies the rate at which this energy is transferred per unit area. Without an adequate heat flux, evaporation cannot occur efficiently because there won't be enough energy to break the bonds between liquid molecules and turn them into vapor.
