Abstract
A set of equations has been derived for the size, composition, and temperature of a multicomponent droplet of a nonideal solution during its diffusion nonisothermal condensation growth or evaporation in a multicomponent mixture of vapors with an incondensable carrier gas. In addition to complete equations for material and heat transfer in the vapor-gas medium surrounding the droplet, the derived set, in the general case, describes the nonstationary growth or evaporation of the droplet under arbitrary initial conditions (initial size and temperature of the droplet and the concentrations of the nonideal multicomponent solution in it) and the establishment of the stationary values of the composition, temperature, and the rate of variations in the size of the droplet with allowance for heat effects and diffusion and thermodiffusion material transfer, Stefan flux, motion of the droplet surface, and the nonideality of the solution in the droplet. A simplified set of equations obtained without taking into account the contributions from the flow, cross effects, and thermal expansion in the equations of the material and heat transfer in the vapor-gas medium has been considered. Equations describing growth/evaporation in the stationary regime have been analyzed for droplets of ideal multicomponent solutions.
