Fluid flow effects in evaporation from liquid-vapour meniscus.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A mathematical model of the evaporating liquid-vapour meniscus in a capillary slot has been developed. The numerical results, obtained for water, demonstrate the importance of accounting for the fluid flow in calculating the effective evaporative heat transfer coefficient and the superheat of the vapour over the liquid-vapour meniscus due to the heat transfer from the heated wall. With higher heat fluxes, a recirculation zone appears in the vapour near the heated wall due to the extensive evaporation in the thin-film region of the liquid-vapour meniscus.
