چکیده
We consider a variational problem in a planar convex domain, motivated by statistical mechanics of crystal growth in a saturated solution. The minimizers are constructed explicitly and are completely characterized.

A Theoretical Mass Transfer Approach for Prediction of Droplets Growth Inside Supersonic Laval Nozzle
Proper estimation of droplet growth rate plays a crucial role on appropriate prediction of supersonic separators performance for separation of fine droplets from a gas stream. Up to now, all available researches employ empirical or semi-empirical correlations to define the relationship between droplet growth rate (dr/dt) and other operating variables such as temperatures (T and TL), Pressure (P...
متن کاملElectric-field-enhanced condensation on superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces.
When condensed droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic nanostructured surface, the resulting droplet can jump due to the conversion of excess surface energy into kinetic energy. This phenomenon has been shown to enhance condensation heat transfer by up to 30% compared to state-of-the-art dropwise condensing surfaces. However, after the droplets jump away from the surface, the existence of the v...
متن کاملModeling of SO(2) scrubbing in spray towers.
The present article aims at developing simple realistic models in order to describe the gaseous removal process of SO(2) by absorption with and without chemical reaction in spray towers. Effects of droplet size, droplet velocity, superficial gas velocity, liquid flow rate and tower height on the performance of such a system are theoretically predicted. Model calculations bring out some very int...
متن کاملA LIGHT SCATTERING INVESTIGATION OF DROPLET GROWTH IN NOZZLE CONDENSATION by
An experimental and theoretical study has been made of the condensation of water vapor (with air carrier) in a supersonic nozzle in order to investigate the possible existence of condensate droplets which are substantially larger than predicted by the standard application of classical condensation theory. Droplet size was measured using light scattering techniques, which when combined with the ...
متن کاملGrowth and wetting of water droplet condensed between micron-sized particles and substrate
We study heterogeneous condensation growth of water droplets on micron-sized particles resting on a level substrate. Through numerical simulations on equilibrium droplet profiles, we find multiple wetting states towards complete wetting of the particle. Specifically, a partially wetting droplet could undergo a spontaneous transition to complete wetting during condensation growth, for contact an...
