Abstract
The wind correction to the evaporation rate of electrically suspended water droplets has been measured for Reynolds numbers between 1 and 6. The results agree well with those of Kinzer and Gunn. During evaporation, Rayleigh instabilities have also been observed. At instability, the charge variation ΔQ is of the same order as that observed by other workers, but under the present experimental conditions there is no detectable change of mass.
