The evaporation of droplets of 1 to 2 mm. diameter into still air has been studied with nine liquids forming a series of graded volatility from toluene to aniline and including water. The experimental results agreed with calculations based on diffusion and heat transfer theory. The surface temperature of the more volatile droplets was found to be significantly lower than the bulk temperature, in contrast to Johnson's results for water. Convection effects were found to be present with 43 mm. diameter evaporation vessels in confirmation of Gilliland's suggestion, but were absent in the smaller vessels used in the main investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
