Abstract
The heat and mass transfer mechanisms taking place when a drop evaporates in a gaseous atmosphere can be accurately described making use of the equations developed in the previous chapters of this part of the book. However, when analytical tools are to be used to find solutions to such equations, some simplifying assumptions must be adopted to transform the governing equation to a more manageable form. In this chapter we will analyse the most common assumptions adopted when modelling the heating and evaporation of a liquid drop, and we will apply them to the conservation and constitutive equations to obtain differential equations that may admit analytical solutions.
