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

预计将进行3个月的访问，K.Sefiane博士将在这段时间(2008年4月至6月)在多伦多与查尔斯·沃德教授团队一起工作。工作方案包括将由K.Sefiane博士在Ward教授研究助理的支持下开展的实验工作。其目的是比较先前两次独立调查中获得的一些实验数据，以及在多伦多进行的新实验，并得出关于液体蒸发和界面条件的结论。CA Ward教授曾两次访问爱丁堡，K.Sefiane博士也两次访问多伦多，最近一次是在2007年11月(为期两周)。上述工作方案已经商定，必要的设备已经就位，以便充分利用拟议的访问。CA Ward教授和K.Sefiane博士最近发表了一篇关于热毛细对流主题的实质性联合评论(K.Sefiane，CA。Ward；热毛细管流动和界面条件的最新进展，胶体和界面科学进展，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).
