I am trying to find the most efficient way to dry clothes indoors with different evaporation factors
1. Heat/Temperature
2. Airflow
3. Humidity
4. Light (Electromagnetic energy)

But I am not sure what equation to use.
(mass loss rate)/(unit area) = (vapor pressure - ambient partial pressure)*sqrt( (molecular weight)/(2*pi*R*T) by Irving Langmuir?
Penman/Shuttleworth equation?
Mass transfer coefficient?
