DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2016.12.111
Abstract: Abstract Evaporation in a thin film induces pronounced temperature gradient and surface tension gradient along the liquid-vapor interface and in turn engenders thermocapillary flow. This study aims to investigate the fluid flow characteristics attributed to… read more here.
