Droplet evaporation lies at the heart of liquid‐fuelled combustion, dictating ignition delays, flame stability and pollutant formation in engines and industrial burners. The process couples heat and ...

This video, which won the American Physical Society’s Milton van Dyke award, explains the foundations of this research. An evaporating droplet shrinks until it reaches a point at which it explodes ...

Evaporation is an endothermic process undertaken by all liquids. This physical state change occurs when surface molecules gain sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the enthalpy of vaporization. Such ...

Multiple-effect evaporation is a cornerstone technology for concentrating liquid streams in sectors as diverse as sugar refining, dairy processing and chemical manufacturing. By sequentially reusing ...
