Abstract
The amount of oxygen absorbed by individual drops of water suspended in a gas stream was measured. The water vapor content in the gas was regulated so that oxygen mass transfer could be observed under evaporation or condensation conditions. Other variables studied were oxygen concentration and exposure time. The rate of mass transfer of oxygen increased significantly with increasing water vapor and oxygen content in the gas. The relevance of mass transfer in growing aerosol systems to industrial hygiene is discussed.
