Abstract

The heat conduction constraint on the growth of a droplet is re-derived taking into account the heat transfer associated with mass transfer, and requiring total energy conservation. The derived constraint is identical with that given by Maxwell, who simply equated the rate of latent heat release to the heat conduction associated with a temperature gradient.
