✦ Synopsis

This paper describes a piece of equipment which has been specially designed to permit the study of the evaporation of single liquid drops in an immiscible liquid at elevated pressures up to the order of 1 MPa. It is equipped with a piezoelectric discharger for yielding nucleation in each drop and with a dilatometer for detecting the change in volume of the drop in the course of evaporation succeeding the nucleation. Some preliminary results, obtained with the equipment, for n-pentane drops evaporating in a water medium at pressures up to 0.5 MPa (5 atm) are also presented.
