Modeling of a multicomponent droplet evaporation is investigated based on the film theory in both low- and high-pressure environments. Unlike the classical film theory, effects of blowing due to evaporation on gas-side heat and mass transfer are included through the film thicknesses. The corresponding gas-side heat and mass transfer equations are derived in terms of film thicknesses. In a high-pressure situation, the real gas behavior is considered. Based on the derived equations, a new model for multicomponent droplet evaporation is formulated and validated against the published data.
