Evaporation of a pure liquid into a inert gas is studied theoretically and experimentally. In contrast with the case where the gas phase is made of pure vapor, the thermocapillary (Marangoni) effect strongly destabilizes the system, and results in intensive and often chaotic forms of interfacial convection. Theoretically, a generalized one-sided model is proposed, which allows the solution of the thermo-hydrodynamic equations in the liquid phase only, still taking into account relevant effects in the gas phase. The equivalent heat transfer coefficient (Biot number) to be incorporated in this one-sided model appears to be high, which results in an acceleration of transitions to polygonal chaotic patterns. Chaotic interfacial patterns driven by the Marangoni effect have indeed been observed during the ITEL-Maser 9 sounding rocket experiment flown in March 2002, in preparation of the CIMEX (Convection and Interfacial Mass Exchange) experiment foreseen for the International Space Station.
