- Being able to predict heat and mass transfer in droplets is important for many engineering applications. This paper is significant because it proposed a new model for heating and evaporation of suspended droplets, taking into account internal temperature gradients, recirculation inside the droplets, and the effect of the rod from which the droplet is suspended. The new model was validated against new optical experiments of the temporal and spatial evolutions of droplet temperatures. This research is a key outcome of three EPSRC grants (EP/K005758/1, EP/M002608/1, EP/R012024/1) and underpinned a successful UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship proposal (MR/T043326/1).
