“…Therefore, several works paid attention to these important factors. Several calculation approaches, such as molecular dynamic 24,25 or Monte Carlo simulation 26,27 have been utilized for the description of evaporation from nanoporous media, taking into account surface-liquid interaction or real temperature and pressure conditions. However, these methods fail to accommodate the macroscopic properties of fluids.…”

Liquid evaporation from micro/nano scale pores is widely encountered in cutting-edge technologies and applications. Due to its two- (or three-) dimensional feature, the nano-porous evaporation is less understood compared to the one-dimensional evaporation of planar liquid surface. This paper reported a novel study of the inter-pore interference effect in nano-porous evaporation, clarifying the variation of net evaporation rate from individual nanopore when the inter-pore distance, neighboring nanopore diameter or liquid temperature were respectively changed. Molecular simulation results showed that the reduction of inter-pore distance could enhance the evaporation rate from nanopores, by augmenting the vapor convection effect and suppressing the condensation flux. This interference effect was more pronounced at lower evaporation intensity, with the evaporation flux being different by up to 25% from the one-dimensional case. The inter-pore interference was equally observed for Knudsen number of 0.1 and 10. Additionally, the non-uniformity in nanopore size distribution had no influence on the evaporative mass flux within present parameter range. The non-uniformity in nanopore temperatures, however, could affect the net evaporation from individual nanopore, similarly by modulating the vapor convection magnitude in adjacent to the interface and the condensation flux. The effect of inter-pore interference is found to be essential at low evaporation intensity, which is highly relevant in industrial applications such as water evaporation under atmospheric pressure.
