An experimental program was conducted to determine mass transport parameters for the evaporation of sessile drops as a function of air velocity, temperature, and contact angle. It was concluded that existing literature equations can be used to calculate rates of evaporation under quiescent conditions as long as the subject liquid does not interact with air contaminants such as water. The data for over 50 evaporation runs were correlated using a Nusselt type function. The resulting function is similar in form to that for free spheres, but with the addition of a friction factor to accommodate the droplet/surface interaction with the flow stream. 10 refs.
