The linear response of a one-dimensional vaporisation process to modul
ated surface heating is considered with allowance for the back reactio
n of gas-dynamic perturbations in a subsonic Vapour flow. It is shown
that the gas-dynamic effects enhance the resonant behaviour of the res
ponse described earlier by Samokhin and Guskov. (C) 1997 Published by
