Abstract
The dynamics of evaporation from the confined surface of a horizontal layer of liquid (ethanol) under the action of a gas (air) flow has been experimentally studied. The influence of the longitudinal dimension of the interface (0.01-0.03 m) on the specific mass rate of evaporation was studied. It was found that the specific mass evaporation rate decreases with an increase in the interface length due to a decrease in the vapor concentration gradient in the boundary layer.
