Experimental simulations of CH4 evaporation on Titan

We present the first experimental results on the evaporation of liquid CH 4 under simulated Titan surface conditions similar to those observed at the Huygens landing site. An average evaporation rate of (3.1 ± 0.6) × 10 −4 kg s −1 m −2 at 94 K and 1.5 bar was measured. While our results are generall... View More
