Solid-liquid-vapor interfacial transport phenomena coupled with wetting/condensation/evaporation

Highly efficient energy conversion and utilization technologies are closely related to phase change phenomena such as macroscopic condensation, evaporation, and boiling through the solid-liquid-vapour interface. On the other hand, the effect of interfacial resistance due to the properties of the heat transfer surface relatively increases as the representative dimensions of the target system become smaller with the development of nano- and micro-technologies. In this study, we develop a microscopic heat and mass transfer model that takes into account the interfacial resistance at the solid-liquid-vapour interface.
