The phenomenon of diffusion-limited-evaporation is discussed with emphasis on its description using the diffusion equation. When the diffusion coefficient is a function of concentration of the evaporating species, which is usually the case, the diffusion equation is not, in general, amenable to analytical solution. A new and powerful Monte Carlo Method developed by the author is described and applied to the problem. Example results are given for several functional forms of the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient and boundary conditions of the system.
