A numerical analysis was performed as to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of an evaporating thin-film meniscus. A mathematical model was used in the formulation of a third order ordinary differential equation. This equation governs the evaporating thinfilm through use of continuity, momentum, energy equations and the Kelvin-Clapeyron model. This governing equation was treated as an initial value problem and was solved numerically using a Runge-Kutta technique. The numerical model uses varying thermophysical properties and boundary conditions such as channel width, applied...
