<sod>The '''Stefan flow''', occasionally called '''Stefan's flow''', is a [[transport phenomenon]] concerning the movement of a [[chemical species]] by a flowing [[fluid]] (typically in the [[gas phase]]) that is induced to [[Fluid dynamics|flow]] by the production or removal of the species at an [[interface (chemistry)|interface]]. Any process that adds the species of interest to or removes it from the flowing fluid may cause the Stefan flow, but the most common processes include [[evaporation]], [[condensation]], [[chemical reaction]], [[Sublimation (chemistry)|sublimation]], [[ablation]], [[adsorption]], [[absorption (chemistry)|absorption]], and [[desorption]]. It was named after the [[Slovenes|Slovene]] physicist, mathematician, and poet [[Joseph Stefan]] for his early work on calculating evaporation rates.<eod>
