Abstract

The evaporation of a polar liquid at low pressure upon exposure to microwave radiation has been investigated. The conventional theories previously developed to describe the non-equilibrium conditions of the evaporating interface are found to be in poor agreement with the experimental results. It is possible to take into account the influence of microwave fields on the evaporating surface by modifying the expression for the entropy production. Another approach, based on the concept that microwaves would increase the pressure, has also been found to be satisfactory.
