Fig. 4.36: Time evolution of mannitol/water droplet surface area computed by present<br />
model and RMM.<br />
time period RMM overpredicts the decrease in droplet surface and thereby the time of<br />
the solid layer formation caused by the fact that the assumption of homogeneous liquid<br />
mixture within the droplet. This assumption leads to more water to be evaporated,<br />
which increases the solute mass fraction to the critical value so that the formation of<br />
solid layer begins.<br />
