Abstract
The mass transfer between a vapor and its condensed phase (liquid or solid) is considered on the basis of the reduced, linearized BGK equation as the governing equation and the finite element method as a tool. The results obtained for the vapor flow between two interfaces show that the parameter related to the latent heat of phase transition plays an important role in determing the flow characteristics.Keywords
