Algorithms for simulating steady net evaporation and net condensation with molecular dynamics are presented. The evaporation and condensation coefficients are calculated, showing that they are not equal outside equilibrium. The distribution function at the interphase boundary is evaluated. There is a drift away from the interphase in the distribution function for the evaporated molecules and a drift velocity towards the interphase for the reflected molecules, both for net evaporation and for net condensation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
