Micropolar fluids are fluids that contain rigid and randomly oriented particles immersed in a
viscous fluid, such as lubricants that contain dirt and metal scraps from shearing. These …

The temperature profiles are measured across a liquid–gas two-layers system at normal
atmospheric conditions. A thin water layer is locally heated from the bottom substrate and it …

Although ubiquitous in nature and industrial processes, transport processes at the interface
during evaporation and condensation are still poorly understood. Experiments have shown …

Hypothesis Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) processes exploit water-repellant
membranes to desalt warm seawaters by allowing only water vapor to transport across …

Evaporation is one of the most effective processes for heat transfer enhancement in the
confined spaces. The development of efficient tools for modeling of evaporation processes …

The condensation process today requires more accurate, efficient and well-tested modeling
approaches. In this article the numerical simulations of monatomic vapor condensation on its …

Phase change phenomena at microscale is important for novel cooling microsystems with
intensive evaporation, so the development of reliable models and simulations are …

The temperature at the liquid–vapor phase change interface is measured at the molecular
mean free path scale. The water layer is locally heated from below and evaporates in an …

Understanding the temperature profile across a liquid–vapor interface in the presence of
phase change is essential for the accurate prediction of evaporation, boiling, and …

Kinetic theory has long predicted that temperature inversion may happen in the vapor-phase
for evaporation and condensation between two parallel plates, ie, the vapor temperature at …
