Abstract

In this paper we present a theory describing the diffusion limited evaporation of sessilewater droplets in presence of contact angle hysteresis. Theory describes two stages ofevaporation process: (I) evaporation with a constant radius of the droplet base; and (II)evaporation with constant contact angle. During stage (I) the contact angle decreases fromstatic advancing contact angle to static receding contact angle, during stage (II) thecontact angle remains equal to the static receding contact angle. Universal dependencesare deduced for both evaporation stages. Obtained universal curves are validated againstavailable in the literature experimental data.
