Heat and Mass Transfer Investigation of Hydrocarbon Droplet Evaporation under Rotatory Movement

The steady-state boundary layer equations of a rotatory movement around hydrocarbon droplets saturated of pure fuel are numerically solved. The transfer equations are schemed by using an implicit finite difference method. The system of algebraic equations is solved by using the Thomas algorithm. The model is compared to the Kreith one and a good agreement is observed between both models. The dimensionless physical parameters of the evaporation phenomena of droplet in rotation are calculated and presented under the effect of the convection.
