Abstract
The quasi-steady approximation, commonly used to calculate the rate of evaporation or condensation of water drops, is shown formally to be valid provided that the vapour of the condensate is very dilute. A uniformly valid asymptotic expansion is found for the full set of equations under isothermal conditions. The leading terms of the expansion correspond to the quasi-steady approximation.
