| Abstract: | The distribution of velocity and directions of dissolved carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon molecules escaping from liquid water into the vapour has been analysed. The distributions were found to agree well with those predicted from the thermal flux distribution and not with the recent theory for evaporation proposed by Phillips. Possible reasons for this are discussed. |
