    Abstract

    A model for species diffusion is presented,with evaporation at a moving free boundary. The resulting problem resembles a one-phase Stefan problem with superheating,but the usual Stefan condition at the moving boundary is replaced by a version which,in the classical setting, would violate conservation of energy. In the fast evaporation limit,ho wever,the problem reduces to a classical nonlinear Stefan problem with negative latent heat.
