Abstract
An experimental investigation of the temperature distribution in the boundary layer of air above a capillary-porous solid from which a liquid is evaporating is described. An analysis of the experimental results confirms Lykov's hypothesis of the presence of a bulk evaporation source in the boundary layer of air above a capillary-porous solid. This source increases the rate of heat and mass transfer from the solid to the air flow.
