Detailed Description

template<class Thermo, class OtherThermo>
class Foam::meltingEvaporationModels::kineticGasEvaporation< Thermo, OtherThermo >

Considering the Hertz Knudsen formula, which gives the evaporation-condensation flux based on the kinetic theory for flat interface:

\[ Flux = C \sqrt{\frac{M}{2 \pi R T_{activate}}}(p - p_{sat}) \]

where:

\( Flux \) = mass flux rate [kg/s/m2]
\( M \) = molecular weight
\( T_{activate} \) = saturation temperature
\( C \) = accomodation coefficient
\( R \) = universal gas constant
\( p_{sat} \) = saturation pressure
\( p \) = vapor partial pressure

The Clapeyron-Clausius equation relates the pressure to the temperature for the saturation condition:

\[ \frac{dp}{dT} = - \frac{L}{T (\nu_v - \nu_l)} \]

where:

\( L \) = latent heat
\( \nu_v \) = inverse of the vapor density
\( \nu_l \) = inverse of the liquid density

Using the above relations:

\[ Flux = 2 \frac{C}{2 - C} \sqrt{\frac{M}{2 \pi R T_{activate}}} L (\rho_{v}*\rho_{l}/(\rho_{l} - \rho_{v})) (T - T_{activate})/T_{activate} \]

This assumes liquid and vapour are in equilibrium, then the accomodation coefficient are equivalent for the interface. This relation is known as the Hertz-Knudsen-Schrage.
