Numerical Study of Hydrodynamics and Heat and Mass Transfer of a Ducted Gas–Vapor‐Droplet Flow

Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A computational model has been developed to predict heat and mass transfer and hydrodynamic characteristics of a turbulent gas–vapor–droplet flow. Turbulent characteristics of the gas phase are computed using the k–ε model of turbulence. It is shown that, with increasing inlet droplet diameter, the rate of heat transfer between the duct surface and the vapor–gas mixture decreases appreciably, whereas the wall friction increases only insignificantly. The predicted values agree fairly well with available experimental and numerical data
