Abstract

A change in the temperature of suspended droplets of a water solution of ethanol, evaporating at high relative humidity, is experimentally investigated using high-speed microphotography and infrared thermography. The data obtained for ethyl alcohol droplets show a significant dependence of the surface temperature of evaporating droplets on relative humidity of the ambient air. It should be noted that at high relative humidity, a significantly smaller decrease in the temperature of droplet surface than at low humidity was observed during evaporation. This relates to the processes of moisture absorption and condensation on the surface of an evaporating droplet of ethyl alcohol at high air humidity, accompanied by the release of heat.
