We consider diffusion-limited, quasi-steady evaporation of a sessile droplet with a pinned contact line on a partially wetted surface (Fig. 2) . The mass lost rate (kg/s) of an evaporating sessile droplet is expressed as follows: 12 where H and θ are relative humidity and static contact angle, respectively. (8) and (10) Second, we present the effect of ambient temperature, surface wettability, and relative humidity on the drying time of the droplet. To determine the likelihood of the droplet and the virus on the surface, we find the mean and standard deviation of the probability density function (PDF) of the normal distribution of the droplet drying times for different cases of ambient temperature, contact angle, and relative humidity. ./cache/cord-274083-6vln3erl.txt ./txt/cord-274083-6vln3erl.txt
