Numerical calculation of the transition from subcritical droplet evaporation to supercritical diffusion.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A model to simulate spherically symmetrical unsteady droplet evaporation at high pressures considering real gas effects, phase equilibrium and homogeneities of temperature and composition in the droplet is presented. Temperature and concentration profiles show the transition from subcritical evaporation to supercritical diffusion. The influence of ambient temperature and pressure is shown, along with the results of simulations of droplet evaporation at time-dependent pressures typically found in diesel engines. Experimental validation is desirable.
