D-square law

Template:Lower case title The d-square law or $d^{2}$ -law is a relationship between diameter and time for an isolated, spherical droplet when it evaporates quasi-steadily, which was first observed by Boris Sreznevsky in 1882,^[1] and was explained by Irving Langmuir in 1918.^[2] If $d (t)$ and $t$ are the droplet diameter and time, then $d^{2}$ -law pertains to the relation^[3]^[4]

d_{0}^{2} - d^{2} = K (t - t_{0}),

where $t_{0}$ is the initial time, $d_{0} = d (t_{0})$ is the initial droplet diameter and $K$ is called the evaporation constant.
