| Résumé : | This paper examines the evaporation rate through the interface of a evaporating - convecting non-isothermal cylindrical column (liquid bridge). The liquid phase is subject to a vigorous thermocapillary convection. Experiments were performed in a wide range of the imposed temperature difference. The obtained data are compared to a theoretical model of mass transport that does not account for the bulk fluid flow. The analytical results obtained for the real experimental conditions reveal an important role of the convective heat and mass transport in evaporization. The convective process is found responsible for enhancing the evaporation rate by several times with respect to the conductive regime. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. |
