EVAPORATION OF DROPLETS IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT
Sinopsis
Experimental and theoretical investigations were carried out on the interaction of the
radial flow of vapour arising out of mass transfer and the forced convection flow field around an
evaporating droplet in order to elucidate the effect of mass transfer on heat transfer.
Water droplets, 0.5−2.0 mm. in diameter, were suspended in a laminarly-flowing steam atmosphere, the temperature of which varied from 250 to 600°F. The droplet was also subjected to a radiant heat load from a well-defined, heated cylindrical zone (up to l400°F.) which surrounded it.
Excellent agreement between experimental data and a theoretical model is reported.
