Mathematical Investigation of Evaporation Process of Bicomponent Moving Droplet

摘要

In order to obtain the concentration, temperature and size variations of a bicomponent moving droplet during evaporation process, a mathematic based on multicomponent droplet evaporation model and droplet motion equation was developed to simulate the evaporation characteristic of a binary decane-ethanol droplet at high temperature nitrogen environment. By numerical calculations, the time evolution of internal concentration distribution within droplet was obtained, and the variations of droplet temperature and dimensionless size were analyzed. The numerical results show that: the droplet temperature variation includes transient heating and equilibrium evaporation at atmospheric pressure; while at high pressure environment, the droplet temperature increases gradually till reaches to ambient temperature. The variations of dimensionless droplet size are deviated from the 'd~2 law' due to the concentration variation during evaporation.
