Abstract An analytic solution is presented for the steady state temperature of an evaporating water droplet with a monolayer coating. The solution is based on the flux matching arguments of Fuchs where the continuum flux is matched to the kinetic flux one mean free path from the droplet surface. Theoretical temperatures are compared to experimental values measured with fluorescence thermometry for evaporating water droplets coated with hexadecanol and octadecanol monolayers.
