Physics of evaporation is still not well understood. This is evident in the case of evaporation of droplet that is frequently accompanied by the temperature jump at the gas liquid interface, the effect that cannot be explained within the range of hydrodynamic model. The nature of the jump has been studied by performing intensive computer simulations on Lennard-Jones systems. The simulations allowed for a better understanding of the effect and, as a result, to improve theoretical description of the evaporation process.
