The effect of crystallization of salt on the rates of evaporation of an aqueous sodium chloride and potassium chloride solution drop into dry air was examined. The presence of salt crystals was first observed near the front stagnation point, which took a major role in mass transfer of a single drop, and the formation of crystals occurred before the average salt concentration reached the equilibrium value. The dimensionless gas-phase diffusion fluxes of water vapor were affected by the vapor-pressure depression and the decrease in effective surface area caused by crystal growth of inorganic salt. A new simulation method for evaporation of an aqueous salt-solution drop into dry air during crystallization of salt was proposed, and the results were in better agreement with the observed data. %8 1999-02-01
