This work reports a theoretical and numerical analysis of the non-isothermal evaporation of a liquid contained in a partially filled cylinder vessel, with adiabatic walls. It is assumed that the evaporation occurs in the presence of natural convection driven by differences in specific mass associated with gradient of temperature and mixture composition. The mixture consist of a gas and the vapor of the evaporating liquid. Although the formulation is general, the specific focus of the present work is on the evaporation of water into air. Three situations were studied. An isothermal case, which is a variant of the classical Stefan diffusion problem, a case where the liquid temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, and a third case in which the liquid temperature is lower than the ambient. Two different boundary conditions were used at the openning of the vessel in a way to explore the sensitivity of the flow to the conditions on the top. The distance between the liquid surface and the top of the vessel varied from two to ten times the vessel radius. Two temperature differences between the liquid and the ambient were investigated, 3 degrees Celsius and - 2 degrees Celsius. The environmental air was considered to be either very dry or very wet. It was found that, when the liquid temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, the rate of evaporation can reach values up to four times larges than that for the isothermal case. For the case where the liquid temperature. is lower than the ambient temperature, the rate of evaporation decreases to values down to half of theisothermal case.
