Statistical rate theory (SRT) was applied to predict the saturation pressure of H2O based on the measurements of interfacial liquid-phase temperature, interfacial vapor-phase temperature, vapor-phase pressure, and average evaporation flux in non-equilibrium evaporation experiments. It is found that the predicted saturation pressure agrees with the Smithsonian Tables and Table given in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for water, H2O. SRT provides a new efficient method to determine the saturation-vapor pressure from a non-equilibrium precess.
