Nonisothermal flow in a conic liquid trap under conditions of atmosphere-free space
Annotation
A nonisothermal film flow is considered, which is formed on the inside surface of a conic liquid trap, to the inlet of which a homogeneous flow of monodisperse droplet medium is delivered under conditions of atmosphere-free space. Asymptotic models of steady film flow are constructed and investigated for the conditions of inertial deposition of droplets under the assumption of small relative thickness of film and of the effect of secondary droplets formed upon deposition on the film surface. For a slow flow, the shape of the surface and the parameters of the film are found analytically. A parametric numerical investigation of distributions of velocity, temperature, and film thickness is performed for the general case. The parameters of flow in the inlet section of the offtake channel are found, and the conditions are determined which are required for maintaining a steady-state mode of operation of the drip pan.
