The analysis of the evaporative heat transfer in the inclined porous layer (0.deg.<.theta.<90.deg.) is made by using capillary model. The length of the evaporation zone is obtained numerically by integrating the differential equation using a Runge-Kutta algorithm. As a result, the length of the evaporation zone is inverse proportional to the dimensionless number, E(=Re*.phi./cos.theta.) representing the evaporation intensity, and the relationship of these parameters shows linear in the log graph.
