I am doing research using oil.
The currently used oil is hexadecane, which has a boiling point of 287 degrees.
If this oil is left for a few days at room temperature, it seems that evaporation occurs very finely. Is there any expression or equation related to evaporation of oil?

There are methods to predict the rate of hydrocarbons evaporation.
check this paper:
Evaporation rates of pure hydrocarbon liquids under the influences of natural convection and diffusion

"the only way to evaporate the oil at room temperature is by increasing the pressure to the saturated pressure" -> to speed up the evaporation - you need to decrease the pressure.
