    Still water droplet evaporation rate (help using Maxwell's formula please)

    I looked at the Seaver (1983). I wish I could understand it fully (or even partially). I forgot calculus it came easily and went just as easily (40 years ago). Seaver though is developing a formula for drops smaller than 2 microns and Seaver confirms any drop larger is Maxwellian (ie yields best...

    Still water droplet evaporation rate (help using Maxwell's formula please)

    Thank you ever so much. It will take me time (as probably days) to digest and use the new search terms to learn what I can on my own before asking for more help. Thanks again. I was mistified why circumference and not surface area was in my equation.

    Still water droplet evaporation rate (help using Maxwell's formula please)

    So I've observed the animal I am studying dry it's self (a survival mechanism called anhydrobiosis) to avoid freezing (laseration by ice crystals). Life forms given time produce a number of protectants in order to survive. Trehalose a sugar is produced to 2-4%. This will act as an antifreeze to...
