A theoretical study and coupled analytical model of the growth rates of a droplet in a nonisothermal gas mixture are presented. The derived model explicitly accounts for the influence of the properties of the gaseous media on the transport processes in an aerodisperse system. The Stefan flux as well as temperature and composition dependencies of the transport coefficients are accounted for simultaneously, still resulting in a convenient analytical expression. Such an expression is especially useful to use in a numerical GDE solution routine, in which much time cannot be spent in the individual physical processes. The results of previous studies are compared to our model predictions. Numerical calculations are performed for a wide range of saturation ratios for the water droplet-humid air system and compared with experimental data. The presented new model is an improvement on the existing ones, especially in cases in which the mass transfer rates are large, resulting in a nonuniform temperature field.
