Abstract
In this work, a theoretical model has been formulated and a numerical code has been developed to analyze the cooling effect induced by liquid droplets during single-phase evaporation and nucleate boiling regime on high temperature solid surfaces.The model is based on a numerical integration of the energy and mass conservation equations in the solid and the liquid domain. In terms of geometry discretization, a cylindrical coordinate system is used, and the differential equations are modeled on an axis-aligned half plane. Evaporation of liquid is reproduced at either the solid-liquid or the liquid-air interfaces.The non-linear system of partial differential equations is discretized using an iterative, second-order in time and space, semi-implicit scheme. A fast sparse solver is used to obtain energy and mass variations with respect to time. Experimental results are finally employed to tune and validate the model.
