Abstract

The equations describing the variation of the radius of a water droplet with time are investigated for quasi-stationary and nonstationary evaporation processes. Solutions of these equations are found in the form of asymptotic series in powers of a small dimensionless parameter. Some properties of the solutions are determined.
