Abstract
In this study, a review of the state of knowledge of the propagation of evaporation waves in the superheated liquid is presented, along with the motivation for continuing research. To understand the physics of rapid evaporation, numerous experiments have been conducted. Research findings from the past six decades have been summarized to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding rapid evaporation and wave propagation. General experimental methods have been reported and compared. This review also includes the different mechanisms involved in the wave propagation of flash evaporation. The existing instrumentation of experiments for identifying the physics of rapid evaporation is still limited. Some related topics, like atomization and evaporation under microgravity, are also discussed. In this review, motivation is provided for the development of careful experiments that can be used to test the theories and reveal new phenomena.
期刊介绍:
Microgravity Science and Technology – An International Journal for Microgravity and Space Exploration Related Research is a is a peer-reviewed scientific journal concerned with all topics, experimental as well as theoretical, related to research carried out under conditions of altered gravity.
Microgravity Science and Technology publishes papers dealing with studies performed on and prepared for platforms that provide real microgravity conditions (such as drop towers, parabolic flights, sounding rockets, reentry capsules and orbiting platforms), and on ground-based facilities aiming to simulate microgravity conditions on earth (such as levitrons, clinostats, random positioning machines, bed rest facilities, and micro-scale or neutral buoyancy facilities) or providing artificial gravity conditions (such as centrifuges).
Data from preparatory tests, hardware and instrumentation developments, lessons learnt as well as theoretical gravity-related considerations are welcome. Included science disciplines with gravity-related topics are:
− materials science
− fluid mechanics
− process engineering
− physics
− chemistry
− heat and mass transfer
− gravitational biology
− radiation biology
− exobiology and astrobiology
− human physiology
