Q:
If I sit a pan of water partially over a floor forced air heat vent, will the water evaporate to help humidify our home in winter? Thank you.

A:
Sure, it will help. Since you put it close to the heating vent it will evaporate a tad faster due to the increased temperature. How much? I really don't know. You could do an experiment (we always encourage experiments). Put a measured amount of water in a pan and set it away from the vent for a day. Measure how much evaporated. Do the same with the pan close to the vent. Let us know your results.
