From the augment Young-Laplace equation and the Wayner's interface mass flux equation
the influence of system operating parameters
geometry parameters and working fluid properties on the heat and mass transfer of an evaporating meniscus
as well as its stability
was investigated using the numerical analysis on a thin-film heat and mass transfer model in the present work. The results show that the meniscus with higher superheat degree or higher meniscus temperature has a greater capability of heat and mass transfer
but its stability is lower. The influence of geometry parameters on interface heat and transfer is slight while the effect of working fluid properties is significant. Generally
higher heat and mass transfer capability occurs along with lower stability
which should be carefully considered in the design of a capillary pumped loop system.
