Abstract
Heat and mass transfer from water drops on an artificial surface were modelled using well-established concepts of irreversible thermodynamics. Drying times of the surface, wetted with individual water drops of various sizes, under air-flow conditions in the laboratory were determined with a beta-ray gauge. The observed drying time of evaporating water drops compared favourably with the predictions of the model. The derivation of the model was based on a few simplifying assumptions which resulted in a non-rigorous mathematical treatment of the problem.
