Abstract

The dynamics of evaporation of wetting droplets is investigated experimentally in an extended range of drop sizes to provide trends relevant for a theoretical analysis. A model is proposed, which generalizes Tanner's law in the presence of evaporation. A qualitative agreement is obtained, which represents a first step toward the solution of a very old, complex problem.
