Evaporation of arbitrary-size drop in electromagnetic radiation field

A theory of the evaporation of an arbitrary-size drop in a field of electromagnetic radiation is constructed using the Lees method. An analytic expression is found for the heat and mass fluxes. An equation describing the change in drop radius as a function of time is obtained.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 439–443, March, 1978.
