Quasisteady theory of nonequilibrium droplet evaporation and condensation

摘要: Using the moment method of Maxwell and quasisteady approximation, an analytical study is performed to obtain useful results for problem transient condensation on evaporation from spherical liquid (or solid) droplets, when phase not in equilibrium with its surrounding vapor. Unlike linearized theories, result this investigation mass flux or droplet surface obtained a general case finite temperature difference between It expected, therefore, that present nonequilibrium theory should be more realistic predicting rate phenomena technological interests.
