Evaporation of a water drop with a solid opaque inclusion moving through a high-temperature gaseous medium

Abstract

The process of evaporation of an inhomogeneous (containing a graphite particle) water drop moving through a high-temperature (about 1100 K) gas medium has been experimentally studied using highspeed (no less than 10⁵ fps) video recording tools, the PIV scanning optical method, and Tema Automotive software. The influences of the ratio of water and inclusion masses, shape of inclusion (by the example of cylindrical disk, cube, and parallelepiped), and its surface area on the integral characteristics of liquid evaporation when heterogeneous drops are passed through a channel (length 1 m, inner diameter 0.2 m) with high-temperature gases are established.
