Researchers described the temperature changes at the point where liquid meets the vapor during evaporation. The explanation, developed using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method, will allow scientists to more accurately simulate the performance of systems based on the theory of evaporation.

Demand is growing at the University of Houston and others from students who want to study data science; from researchers who produce, interpret, or otherwise work with reams of data; and from industry, which needs a data science-savvy workforce.

A team of researchers from the University of Houston is working with the oil industry to develop new ways to predict when an offshore drilling rig is at risk for a potentially catastrophic accident.
