Droplet evaporation on a horizontal substrate under gravity field by mesoscopic modeling

Droplet evaporation on a horizontal substrate under gravity field by mesoscopic modeling.

The evaporation of water drop deposited on a horizontal substrate is investigated using a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for multiphase flows with a large-density ratio. To account for the variation of evaporation flux distribution along the drop interface, a novel evaporation scheme is introduced into the LBM framework, and validated by comparison with experimental data. We aim at discovering ...

Evaporation of a thin droplet on a thin substrate with a high thermal resistance

Abstract A mathematical model for the quasi-steady evaporation of a thin liquid droplet on a thin substrate that incorporates the dependence of the saturation concentration of vapour at the free surface of the droplet on temperature is used to examine an atypical situation in which the substrate has a high thermal resistance relative to the droplet (i.e. it is highly insulating and/or is thick ...

Comparative Analysis of a Single Fuel Droplet Evaporation

In this research, the results of comparative analysis of a single fuel droplet evaporation models are presented. Three well-known evaporation models including Spalding, Borman-Johnson and Abramzon-Sirignano models are analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). The original Spalding model is extended to consider the effects of the Stefan flow, unsteady vaporization, and variable propertie...

Evaporation of a Liquid Droplet

Two idealized models for the preheat s tage of liquid droplets are ana lyzed theoretically . These models conta in the effects of transie nt heat conduction and evaporati on. It is assumed that the droplet surface a rea decreases linearly with time. This assumption necessitates the solution of mov ing boundary problems . These models, however, do not consider gas-phase mass transport . In the f...
