The evaporation of wetting drops deposited on a substrate at thermal equilibrium under normal atmosphere is discussed. The evaporation rate appears to be controlled by the stationary diffusion of vapour molecules in the gas phase. Experiments with alkanes and water drops are fairly well accounted for by an isothermal model, taking into account the specific properties of thin films.
