STATISTICAL RATE THEORY (SRT) AND INTERFACIAL CONDITIONS DURING EVAPORATION OF LIQUIDS

预计将进行为期3个月的访问，K博士。Sefiane将在多伦多与Charles Ward教授一起工作。工作计划包括将由K博士进行的实验工作。Sefiane，由沃德教授研究助理支持。目的是比较以前两次独立的研究以及在多伦多进行的新实验中获得的一些实验数据，并得出有关液体蒸发和界面条件的结论。Sefiane还访问了多伦多两次，最近一次是在2007年11月（为期两周）。上述工作方案已经商定，必要的设备已经到位，以便最好地利用拟议的访问。CA Ward教授和K. Sefiane最近发表了一篇关于热毛细对流的实质性联合评论（K。Sefiane，CA. Ward; Recent advances on thermocillary flows and interfacial conditions，Advances in Colloid and Interface Science，134-135，201-223，2007）。

A 3 months visit is envisaged, Dr K. Sefiane will spend this period (April-June 2008) in Toronto working in the group of Prof. Charles Ward. The programme of work includes experimental work to be undertaken by Dr K. Sefiane, supported by Prof. Ward research assistants. The aim is to compare some experimental data obtained in two independent previous investigations as well as undetake new experiments in Toronto and draw conclusions about the evaporation of liquids and interfacial conditions.Professor CA Ward has visited Edinburgh twice and Dr K. Sefiane has also visited Toronto twice, the latest being in Novembre 2007 (for two weeks). The above programme of work has been agreed and the necessary equipment is in place to make the best out of the proposed visit. Prof. CA Ward and Dr K. Sefiane have recently published a substantial joint review on the topic of thermocapillary convection (K. Sefiane, CA. Ward; Recent advances on thermocapillary flows and interfacial conditions , Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 134-135, 201-223, 2007).
