Abstract
We report on the drying of films of polymer solutions under a controlled laminar air flow. Temperature measurements reveal that a drying front propagates in the film at constant velocity. Using thermal calibration, we are able to quantitatively determine the local drying rate of the film, and we find it agrees with conservation arguments. We further show that a simple mass balance allows us to relate the front velocity to the drying rate.
