“…However, all of these works use the basic diffusion-limited model for droplet evaporation (see, for example, Popov 2005) which does not account for the variation of the saturation concentration of the vapour with temperature. As a result, none of these works accounts for the influence of the thermal properties of the system on the evaporation of the droplets, which can be significant (see, for example, Dunn et al 2008, 2009a,b, Sefiane & Bennacer 2011, Sobac & Brutin 2012, Ait Saada, Chikh and Tadrist 2013, Lopes et al 2013and Diddens et al 2017. The aim of the present work is to gain further insight into this issue by using an extended model to obtain asymptotic solutions for the evolution, and hence explicit expressions for the lifetimes, of droplets when the influence of the thermal properties of the system is strong.…”
