Binary liquid film condensation from water-ammonia vapors mixture flowing downward along a parallel plate condenser

Half-space problem of weak evaporation and condensation of a binary mixture of vapors

Half-space problem of weak evaporation and condensation of a binary mixture of vapors is investigated on the basis of the BGK-type Boltzmann model. By a systematic asymptotic analysis, it is shown that the steady evaporation and condensation takes place only if the parameters that characterize the state of the condensed phase and that of the vapors at a far distance satisfy one relation for the...

Analysis of Laminar Film Condensation on a Vertical Plate

Linear temporal and spatio-temporal stability analysis of a binary liquid film flowing down an inclined uniformly heated plate

Temporal and spatio-temporal instabilities of binary liquid films flowing down an inclined uniformly heated plate with Soret effect are investigated by using the Chebyshev collocation method to solve the full system of linear stability equations. Seven dimensionless parameters, i.e. the Kapitza, Galileo, Prandtl, Lewis, Soret, Marangoni, and Biot numbers (Ka, G, Pr, L, χ , M , B), as well as th...

Liquid film condensation along a vertical surface in a thin porous medium with large anisotropic permeability

The problems of steady film condensation on a vertical surface embedded in a thin porous medium with anisotropic permeability filled with pure saturated vapour are studied analytically by using the Brinkman-Darcy flow model. The principal axes of anisotropic permeability are oriented in a direction that non-coincident with the gravity force. On the basis of the flow permeability tensor due to t...

Evaporation of Ethanol-Water Binary Mixture Sessile Liquid Marbles.

Liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated with particles. Recently, the evaporation process of a sessile liquid marble using geometric measurements has attracted great attention from the research community. However, the lack of gravimetric measurement limits further insights into the physical changes of a liquid marble during the evaporation process. Moreover, the evaporation process of a marble...
