Abstract
In this paper, the macroscopic contact angle in an evaporating drop is derived, on the assumption that its deviation from the microscopic angle is accounted for by processes taking place in the slip region. This investigation was prompted by a recent paper by Anderson and Davis [Phys. Fluids 7, 248 (1995)], in which an expression for the dynamic macroscopic contact angle for spreading drops is also assumed to hold when evaporation is present.Keywords
