Evaluation Of Evaporation Models For Single Moving Droplet With A High Evaporation Rate, Zhou Zhifu, Guo-Xiang Wang, Chen Bin, Guo Liejin, Wang Yueshe

Dr. Guo-Xiang Wang

Evaporation of a moving liquid droplet in atmosphere is a common phenomenon with wide engineering applications. Theoretical models that consider mass, momentum, and energy transfer between the droplet and the surrounding gas have been well documented in the literature to predict the variation of the velocity, the size, and the temperature of a moving droplet. Carefully designed experiments of a single evaporating droplet subject to gas flow have also been conducted to provide the first hand data for model comparison. The objective of this paper is to evaluate existing evaporation models with high evaporation rate. A literature review is present …
