Sommario

Nel presente lavoro è proposto un modello fisico, basato sulla teoria cinetica dei liquidi e dei gas e su alcune proprietà delle superfici liquide, il quale descrive, a scala molecolare, i fenomeni di trasporto di massa ed energia, con cambiamento di fase, all'interfaccia fra una superficie liquida in presenza di gasvapore. Sono stati effettuati calcoli numerici e confronti con risultati sperimentali.

Summary

This paper deals with a physical model, based on the analysis of the physical properties of liquid surfaces and on the kinetic theory of gases and liquids, which gives a detailed picture, on a molecular scale, of the phase-transition and transport phenomena at the interface between liquid and vapour. Some numerical calculations relating to water-vapour systems and comparisons with experimental results have been performed.
