- Additional information
- Understanding and controlling the complex physics of droplet heating and evaporation is key to many engineering applications. This paper is significant because for the first time it presents a methodology for fully self-consistent calculation of both heat and mass fluxes at the surface of heated and evaporating droplets within the combined kinetic/hydrodynamics model. This new model enables accurate prediction of heat and mass transfer processes, including preferential evaporation, for multicomponent liquids at elevated temperatures.
