The relative influence of the capillary, Marangoni, and hydrophobic forces inmediating the evaporation of water from carbon foam based porous media, inresponse to incident solar radiation, are investigated. It is indicated thatinducing hydrophilic interactions on the surface, through nitric acid treatmentof the foams, has a similar effect to reduced pore diameter and the ensuingcapillary forces. The efficiency of water evaporation may be parameterizedthrough the Capillary number (Ca), with a lower Ca being preferred. Theproposed study is of much relevance to efficient solar energy utilization.
