The problem of unsteady state evaporation of a liquid droplet suddenly exposed to an unsaturated gaseous medium is solved in terms of integral equations. By taking into account the nonuniform temperature field in the droplet and the nonuniform temperature and concentration fields in the continuum surrounding the droplet the temperature history of the droplet surface is predicted. The effect of the time-varying surface temperature on the evaporation rate is determined, and the time required for the interfacial temperature to reach an asymptotic limit is calculated. The novel feature of this solution is that it rigorously takes into account the temperature distribution inside the drop as well as an enthalpy balance on the drop. By rigorously taking into account the appropriate material and energy balances the physically impossible discontinuities of some previous solutions are avoided.
