Contributions to heat and mass transfer between a plasma jet and droplets in suspension plasma spraying

Numerical study of the effect of surface wettability on performance of the spray cooling process

“…The impingement of spraying cold drops onto heated dry walls, and the associated heat transfer mechanism occurs in many engineering applications such as, spray drying [1], internal combustion engines [2], spray coating [3], and spray cooling processes [4]. Spray cooling is a technique of increasing interest for cooling of electronic and mechanical elements, and is characterized by a high rate of heat transfer, uniformity of heat removal, and low droplet impact velocity.…”

Analysis of the two-dimensional polydisperse liquid sprays in a laminar boundary layer flow using the similarity transformation method

“…The advantage of this method is that the integral quantity is conserved within the computational domain and the number of conservation equations is reduced to be simply equal to the number of sections. The natural generalization of this method is to describe the size of the droplets with a probability density function as occurred in this paper [6][7][8][9][10] Most problems in engineering applications are described by a system of partial differential equations (PDE) which is usually difficult to solve. Using the similarity transformation method [11,12] the system can be converted to an ordinary differential equations (ODE) set by combining two independent variables into a single independent variable [13].…”
