A mathematical description of the evaporation of a binary solution from the free surface of a spill has been proposed. Results of experimental study on the evaporation of hydrochloric acid in a wind tunnel have been presented. It has been established that the resistance of the evaporating component to transfer in the liquid phase exerts a substantial influence in the intensity of evaporation of hydrochloric acid. The effective diffusion coefficient has been determined experimentally, which allows for the influence of the resistance to mass transfer in the liquid phase on the intensity of evaporation of the solution.
