Abstract
The object of this study was to derive a model which would accurately describe the evaporation of a multicomponent droplet, especially near its boiling point. The model is derived and is shown to have the following properties: the transport of one component can be augmented by the bulk (Stefan) flow of the other components, and the droplet can never exceed its boiling point, a property not realized by previous models. The ordinary differential equations which constitute the model were integrated numerically, and results are given for both two‐ and three‐component droplets.Keywords
