Abstract: In cases of drop heat transfer in which a saturated atmosphere condenses into the liquid of the drop, a point is reached when the drop is at the atmospheric temperature. If formal treatment is given to the heat transfer up to that time, the end temperature difference being zero, the conception of logarithmic mean temperature difference cannot be used and an arbitrary choice which may give misleading results must be made. That heat transfer does continue with this apparent zero difference is obvious and therefore a potential difference must exist which is shown to be expressible as an equivalent temperature difference.
