“…The method is a mixed method with moving meshes only in the subset of the grid near the interface whereas the rest of the grid is a fixed Eulerian one. He used the method to determine the influence of variable properties on evaporation [28]. A disadvantage of the model is its limitation to 2D axisymmetric problems and small deformations.…”

“…Nguyen and Avedisian (1987) theoretically examined the evaporation of a spherical n-heptane droplet in the vicinity of a hot wall, and reported early droplet swelling that was attributed to liquid density variations with temperature. Renksizbulut and Haywood (1988) reported droplet volume increase during the convective evaporation of n-heptane droplets in their own vapor. However, the larger sizes of the droplet were also accompanied by a mass increase that was attributed to vapor condensation on the droplet surface.…”

ABSTRAm-A numerical investigation is presented for multicomponent droplet evaporation under hightemperature laminar convective conditions. The study improves an existing model that did not account for the temperature dependence of liquid-phase densities and heat capacities. The new model, which accounts for variable gas and liquid-phase thermophysical properties, h a also resolved previously reported numerical problems encountered during the early stages of the simulations. Detailed data on the temporal and spatial variation of the liquid-phase concentration fields throughout the lifetime of a hicomponent droplet provide new insight on the liquid mass-transport mechanisms within typical vaporizing hydrocarbon droplets. The current simulations indicate that the variation of liquid densities with temperature must be taken into account for an accurate representation of the transport processes in droplet convective vaporization. On the contrary, the effect of the variation of liquid heat capacities with temperature proves to be rather minor.

The coupling model of flow and heat and mass transfer for gas-spray droplet two-phase flow has been developed to simulate the evaporating spray in cross-flow. The correlations used for describing the droplet evaporation and motion in convective flow have been compared. The comparisons of calculated results show that the different correlations for determining Nusselt number and Sherwood number impose a significant influence on the lifetime of droplet. The modification of Nusselt number and Sherwood number with regard to the heat and mass boundary around the droplet is of great importance, while different mixing laws for mixture properties and different drag coefficient equations only demonstrate a slight effect on the evaporation characteristics of droplet. The characteristics of spray droplets and cross-flow in terms of both evaporation and motion are obtained. The secondary flow phenomenon is observed in the simulation results and contributes to achieving a more even distribution of temperature and an improved mixing effect of the vapor and cross-flow.
