Experimental and theoretical study of one- and two-component droplet vaporization in a high pressure environment
A new experimental set-up is introduced where the evaporation of free falling, non-interacting droplets is investigated. Detailed measurements with one- and two-component droplets are presented for different pressures (p --> 40 bar) and gas temperatures (T --> 650 K). The experimental results are compared with numerical calculations based on the Conduction Limit model and the Diffusion Limit model.
