It occured to me that its trivally easy to calculate the rate at which an ideal evaporator will use up its coolant, however I've never seen a model of the temperature the coolant will reach at equallibrium.

The way I figure its probably a differential equation that relates vapor pressure as a function of temperature to power, flow, surface area, air pressure etc. However I haven't been able to find anything on google.

Does anyone have the equation?
