Condensation of saturated vapor on a spherical droplet under near-critical conditions

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Condensation (evaporation) of droplets in an atmosphere of saturated vapor is analyzed. The equation of transient heat conduction with a variable droplet radius is solved on a computer. Universal graphs are plotted for calculating both the heating and the condensation rate.
