Re: [Phys-l] Water vapor condensation



You might want to check in with your colleagues at the Helsinki University of Technology. In particular, the renowned Low Temperature Experimental Group. Back in my grad school days I was impressed with the interest that some of them showed in 'outreach' as well as their 'serious' research.

Hi,

a student of mine is doing a HS project in which she is seeking for a correlation between relative humidity and temperature difference of a surface and air. Her idea is to use a plate that is taken from a freezer and measure the mass of water condensed onto the plate within a certain time frame. Obviously, among other things, the mass depends on the area of the plate.

I was wondering whether of not any other properties of the *surface* besides the area, temperature difference might affect the condensing. Could you suggest a useful reference related to the project topic? AJP and TPT has already been
looked for.

Regards,

Antti
