✦ Synopsis

The evaporation and condensation coefficients of water, ice and carbon tetrachloride were determined in the same experimental apparatus. Both low and high values were obtained for all three materials. An unsteady-state experimental method was used and the high values resulted when the evaporating or condensing times were very short. Surface temperature errors of two different types are shown to be the major factor in contributing to low values. The condensation coefficient of water is at least 0.7 and could easily be 1.0. Condensation coefficients of 0.55 were measured for ice and 0.94 for carbon tetrachloride.
