Abstract
The motion of a vapor gas in contact with interphase surfaces is studied on the basis of kinetic theory of gases. The mass and energy fluxes are determined from the condition of the vapor far away from the interfaces. The result for a vapor gas between two interfaces shows that the temperature gradient in the vapor is opposite in sign to the externally maintained temperature difference.
