We use a lubrication-type approach to investigate the dynamics of moving contact lines observed during droplet evaporation in the constrained vapor bubble experimental set-up. The effects of capillarity, viscous flow, and disjoining pressure are considered, while gravity is neglected. The disjoining pressure is described by a two-component model. Direct comparisons to the experimental recordings of receding contact line dynamics for n-butanol in a quartz cuvette are made.
