Abstract
We observe an anomalous liquid expansion after quenching a binary mixture at coexistence to low pressures in the vapor phase by numerical calculations. This evaporation-induced expansion can be attributed to the pressure imbalance near the liquid-vapor interface, which originates from the interplay between the complex thermodynamics of binary mixtures both in the vapor and liquid phases, as well as their dynamical asymmetries. In addition, careful modulation of the pressure quench in the vapor phase can result in spinodal bubble formation inside liquid phase. The results indicate that the thermodynamics-kinetics interplay could foster our fundamental understanding of the evaporation process and promote its practical applications.
