Abstract: | A model of evaporation of a multiply charged liquid drop is developed. The model self-consistently takes into account the main factors influencing the charged drop evaporation, including effects of the drop surface curvature and charge on the saturated vapor pressure, repeated fragmentation of drops during evaporation, and the capability of drops having a unit charge and a certain stabilization radius not to evaporate even in an unsaturated vapor medium. Analytical dependences are derived that can be used to calculate an integral lifetime of a charged drop with allowance for its fragmentation into smaller drops. Our estimates demonstrate that the evaporation time of charged drops is much smaller than that of uncharged drops. |
