Unraveling the fundamentals of transport across the vapor-liquid interface
Transport of energy and particles across vapor-liquid interfaces is central for growth of rain drops in the atmosphere, evaporation from lakes, distillation columns, development of micro/nano-fluidic devices and much more. The objective of InterLab is to develop theory and methods to reproduce evaporation rates from steady-state experiments with water and octane within an accuracy of 10%. Such a theory is needed urgently since the established alternatives overpredict evaporation rates of water by 2-3 orders of magnitude. The core component of this new theory is the local thermal conductivity in the interfacial region. To reach its objectives, InterLab must fill major knowledge gaps in the…
