Abstract

Introduction
At the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Groningen Marangoni convection in connection to mass transfer is studied experimentally as well as numerically (1,2). Marangoni convection consists .... (full text)

Objectives

Scope
In mass transfer processes under terrestrial conditions there are two mechanisms that may cause convection; buoyancy effects and Marangoni effects. The Marangoni effect dominates in Thin liquid films where buoyancy .... (full text)

Experiment procedure

Developments in 1990
In 1990 we continued to study Marangoni convection in so called V-shaped containers. The purpose of this study is to establish the influence of the actual shape of the interface on the onset of marangoni convection, induced by the evaporation of acetone from a water/acetone .... (full text)
