Summary

A Kelvin-Clapeyron change-of-phase heat transfer model is used to evaluate experimental data for an evaporating meniscus. The heat flux and the heat transfer coefficient are a function of the film thickness profile, which is a measure of both the intermolecular stress field in the contact line region and the resistance to conduction. The results indicate that a stationary meniscus with a high evaporative flux is possible. The interfacial slope is a function of the heat flux.
