| Abstract: | From the solution of linearized Boltzmann equations with the collision operators in the Gross and Krook form the authors have obtained an expression for the concentration jump of a vapor evaporating from a plane liquid surface into a stationary gas, for which the liquid surface is impermeable. Langmuir 1] was the first to point out that at the surface of an evaporating liquid the vapor pressure differs from saturated vapor pressure, i.e., a jump occurs in vapor concentration. An expression was obtained by Brock 2] for the concentration jump at the plane surface in the binary gas mixture with identical molecular masses of components by gas kinetic analysis. No solution has yet been obtained to the problem at different molecular masses of components.Moscow. Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR.
