This thesis presents a review of the theory of evaporation of pure substances with respect to kinetic and mechanistic models. These concepts are applied to multi-component evaporation and a model for the evaporation of solute atoms from a solvent is postulated. The evaporation
experiments were performed on Fe 1% Mn melts at a constant pressure of approximately 10 microns over a temperature range of 1320° to 1810°C. The correlation between the experimental results and the expected theoretical results is discussed thoroughly in terms of surface control and diffusion control. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
