Abstract

A numerical code is presented that simulates the evaporation of water droplets on hot solid surfaces. The surface temperature conditions are such that only single-phase evaporation is obtained. The two-dimensional, axial-symmetrical energy diffusion equation, discretized with the finite volume method, is used to model the transient within both the droplets and the solid substrate.The current work simulates the substrate cooling effect due to a multi-droplet system, made of a ring of six identical droplets surrounding a central one. The overall transient is obtained by superposition of effects, from the solution for the axial-symmetrical substrate temperature field due to the evaporation of an individual droplet. The numerical results are validated by comparison with experimental data.The code is implemented in Matlab, using a modular and flexible architecture. This will allow the expansion of the code to simulate convective motion and nucleate boiling in the droplet, as well as other fluids.
