Summary

A FINITE VOLUME NUMERICAL TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN USED TO MODEL THE EVAPORATION OF AN N-HEPTANE DROPLET WITH AN INITIAL REYNOLDS NUMBER OF 100 IN AIR AT 800 K, 1 ATM. THE EFFECTS OF VARIABLE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES, LIQUID PHASE MOTION AND HEATING, AND TRANSIENT VARIATIONS IN DROPLET SIZE AND VELOCITY ARE INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS. QUASI-STEADY CORRELATIONS ARE SHOWN TO PREDICT ACCURATELY THE TRANSIENT HISTORIES OF THE DRAG COEFFICIENT AND NUSSELT AND SHERWOOD NUMBERS.
