An experimental and theoretical study of the effect of suspended thermocouple on the single droplet evaporation

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of thermocouple on the evaporation characteristics of a single droplet experimentally and theoretically. Experimentally, a binary droplet of n-Dodecane and n-Hexadecane with an initial diameter of ~900 µm is suspended at the welding point of a thermocouple wire or at the tip of a quartz fiber to evaporate. A conduction–diffusion limit multi-component evaporation model for a single droplet is...
