- Abstract
- A theoretical research is carried out to describe the thermal behavior of a solid surface subjected to droplet evaporative cooling. The objective of this study is the analysis of various simplified boundary conditions which can be used to generate predictions of the thermal behavior of the solid surface. This study is part of a more general research conducted in order to individuate the global cooling effect of a spray impinging a hot solid surface. A number of numerical algorithms are used to obtain solutions of the governing equations for the various cases examined. Results are presented for the different boundary conditions.
