Condensation-evaporation behavior on a flat liquid surface is investig
ated under nonequilibrium conditions with shock-tube experiment and mo
lecular dynamics simulation. The estimated condensation coefficient de
pends on the degree of nonequilibrium of the vapor; a decreases with t
he increase of the degree of nonequilibrium.
