The results of experimental and numerical investigations of the nonstationary process of evaporation of droplets of pure liquids into a dry air at variable initial temperature of a droplet, temperature of the gas medium, and relative velocity of flow around a droplet are presented. The regions of application of the well-known laws of change in the size of an evaporating droplet in time depending on the thermal gas-dynamic conditions and thermophysical properties of the liquid and gas phases have been analyzed.
