Experimental Apparatus Used to Study Liquid-Vapour Phase Change Processes
1. Measure in one horizontal direction.
A. No evaporation when pressure was 820 Pa.
B. Pressure in the vapor 775Pa,
j = 0.407±0.006 g/m2s
2. Without opening the system, rotate the 3- dimensional positioner 90° and measure in the second horizontal direction.

Determine Tangential Speed from Measured Temperature Profile
Equate tangential surface tension gradient with viscous shear stress
Surface Tension is only a function of temperature

If there is no Marangoni
convection, energy conservation is not satisfied!
Conclusions
1. A fluid confined in a cylindrical container and exposed to the acceleration field of the Shuttle adopts the two-interface configuration, but not the configuration it would be expected to adopt if the system were in equilibrium and the acceleration were ~10-6g0. The configuration adopted corresponds to the configuration expected under equilibrium conditions if the acceleration were greater than 10-4g0.
2. During water evaporation, thermocapillary (or Marangoni) convection exists at the interface. Even in a ground-based laboratory the flow parallel to the interface is oscillatory. At higher evaporation rates, the thermocapillary convection can become turbulent.
