Heat and Mass Transfer Investigation of Hydrocarbon DropletEvaporation under Rotatory Movement

Abstract

The steady-state boundary layer equations of a rotatorymovement around hydrocarbon droplets saturated of pure fuel arenumerically solved. The transfer equations are schemed by using animplicit finite difference method. The system of algebraic equations issolved by using the Thomas algorithm. The model is compared to theKreith one and a good agreement is observed between both models.The dimensionless physical parameters of the evaporation phenomena ofdroplet in rotation are calculated and presented under the effect ofthe convection.
