Abstract

We propose a new method for measurement of the evaporation coefficient using sound resonance experiment based on a theory of molecular gas dynamics. The evaporation coefficient is one of the parameters contained in the kinetic boundary condition. The evaporation coefficient of water is determined from the pressure amplitude of resonant sound wave in a cylindrical space bounded by a sound source and a vapor-liquid interface. By comparing the pressure amplitude with a linear theory based on molecular gas dynamics, we prove that the evaporation coefficient of water is about 1.0 around 300K.
