Abstract
A study is made of the process of weak evaporation (or condensation) with allowance for excitation of vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom of diatomic molecules. The solution to the corresponding Knudsen layer problem is obtained on the basis of a model kinetic equation of the type of the Morse equation [1]. A relation is obtained that establishes the connection between the rate of evaporation (or condensation) and the parameters of the surface and the gas above it. The boundary conditions of slip for the equations of gas dynamics are analyzed. The results are compared with the evaporation or condensation in the case of a monatomic gas. The introduction of accommodation coefficients for an evaporating surface is considered.
