A New Finite-Conductivity Droplet Evaporation Model Including Liquid Turbulence Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to account for finite thermal conductivity and turbulence effects within atomizing droplets of an evaporating spray is presented in this paper. The model is an extension of the T-blob and T-TAB atomizatiodspray model of Trinh and Chen [9]. This finite conductivity model is based on the two-temperature film theory in which the turbulence characteristics of the droplet are used to estimate the effective thermal diffusivity for the liquid-side film thickness. Both one-way and two-way soupled calculations were performed to investigate the performance cf this model against the published experimental data.

Cloud droplet sedimentation, entrainment efficiency, and subtropical stratocumulus albedo
[1] The effect of cloud droplet sedimentation on the entrainment rate and liquid water path of a nocturnal nondrizzling stratocumulus layer is examined using largeeddy simulations (LES) with bulk microphysics. In agreement with a prior study by Ackerman et al. (2004), sedimentation is found to decrease entrainment rate and thereby increase liquid water path. They suggested this is due to reduct...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Droplet Transient Heating and Evaporation
Several approaches to numerical modelling of liquid droplet heating and evaporation by convection and radiation from the surrounding hot gas are discussed. The finite thermal conductivity of liquid, recirculation in droplets, and time dependence of gas temperature and the convection heat transfer coefficient are taken into account. For the constant and almost constant convection heat transfer c...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations for the motion of evaporative droplets driven by thermal gradients along nanochannels.
For a one-component fluid on a solid substrate, a thermal singularity may occur at the contact line where the liquid-vapor interface intersects the solid surface. Physically, the liquid-vapor interface is almost isothermal at the liquid-vapor coexistence temperature in one-component fluids while the solid surface is almost isothermal for solids of high thermal conductivity. Therefore, a tempera...

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...
متن کاملA mathematical model for the evaporation of a liquid fuel droplet, subject to nonlinear constraints
We study the mathematical evolution of a liquid fuel droplet inside a vessel. In particular, we analyze the evolution of the droplet radius on a finite time interval. The model problem involves an hyperbolic system coupled with the pressure and velocity of the surrounding gas. Existence of bounded solutions for the mass fraction of the liquid, submitted to nonlinear constraints, is shown. Numer...
