Abstract

Evaporation of sessile droplets of liquid on solid substrates is considered here. Different parameters and processes influencing the evaporation rate are discussed. Cases of complete wetting and partial wetting with contact angle hysteresis are described mathematically. The influence of Kelvin’s and kinetic effects and subsequent deviation from diffusion-limited evaporation is shown by means of computer simulations.
