The effect of air temperature on vaporization rates of nine pure liquid drops was determined by means of a heat-balance equation. Experimentally evaluated heat-transfer coefficients were found to correlate an expression for relating a new dimensionless number, Re-Sc, and the thermal conductivity ratio ka/kv to the Nusselt number for heat transfer. Surface temperatures were determined for the nine pure liquid drops; nitrobenzene, n-octane, benzene, methanol, acetone, water, ethanol, butanol, and carbon tetrachloride. These temperatures were found to be approximately equal to wet-bulb temperatures and a new method of approximating wet-bulb temperatures from boiling-point data and wet-bulb data for water was developed.
