A mathematical model has been developed relating the velocity, temperature, composition, radius, and position of an evaporating drop falling through a heated environment. Under the assumption of rapid mixing within the drop a digital computer program has been written and solved for several initial conditions to give the aforementioned variables as a function of time. Details of the computer program are presented, with emphasis on the analysis of and approach to the problem. The computer results are summarized, and their relation to the general problem of spray vaporization is indicated.
