Film Evaporation

A numerical study of mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical channel with a wavy wall is performed. The wavy wall is heated by a constant flux, while the other is adiabatic. The discretisation of equations in both liquid and gas phases is realised using an implicit finite difference scheme. Results of simulation compare the effect of multiple parameters, especially amplitude and characteristic length of the curve, on the liquid film evaporation process. The results indicate that heat and mass transfer is enhanced by increasing the amplitude and number of wall waves. Moreover, a very small value of waves amplitude of the wall may reduce the sensible heat and mass transfer.

Phase Models

The main purpose of this study is to survey numerically comparison of two-phase and single-phase models of heat and mass transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid liquid film flowing downward a vertical channel. A finite difference method is developed to produce the computational predictions for heat and mass transfer during the evaporation of the liquid film approached by the single-phase and two-phase models. The model solves the coupled governing equations in both nanofluid and gas phases together with the boundary and interfacial conditions. The systems of equations obtained by using an implicit finite difference method are solved by Tridiagonal Matrix Algorithm. The results show that the two-phase model is more realistic since it takes into account the thermophoresis and Brownian effects.
