The Stefan Problem of a Binary-Liquid Mixture
Isothermal evaporation of a binary liquid mixture into the air is studied, taking into account diffusion in the liquid phase as well as the moving interface during evaporation. The analysis is extended to measure the binary liquid diffusion coefficient by observing the position of liquid-gas interface. The resulting diffusion coefficient is in good agreement with the reported value.
