Detailed numerical analysis of evaporation of a micrometer water droplet suspended on a glass filament

For a long time, the single droplet drying (SDD) equipment has been utilized to investigate droplet drying behaviour relevant to spray drying. Typical of the device is a global measurement of droplet’s drying kinetics such as evaporation rate, temperature history, diameter changes, etc., and has been extensively used for such purposes. Utilization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) enables SDD experiment to be interpreted and examined closely...
