A rigorous study of single droplet vaporization under quiescent high pressure atmosphere is attempted adopting method of flash evaporation calculation for vapor-liquid equilibrium. Results due to flash method shows excellent agreement with measurement. Also shown is the present model fairly capable of depicting transients of droplet vaporization under high pressure environment, such as ambient gas solubility, property variation, and multicomponent transports. Systematic treatment of these effects with emphasis on vapor-liquid phase equilibrium revealed; conventional treatment for subcritical droplet vaporization, such as $d^2$-law, leads to erroneous prediction of droplet history, augmented gas solubility is significant under supercritical pressure, and vaporization rate proportionally increase with pressure.

A numerical study of high pressure and temperature droplet vaporization and combustion is conducted by formulating one dimensional evaporation model and single-step chemical reaction in the mixture of hydrocarbon fuel and air. The ambient pressure ranged from atmospheric conditions to the supercritical conditions. In order to account for the real gas effect on fluid p-v-T properties in high pressure conditions, the modified Soave-Redlich-Kwong state equation is used in the evaluation of thermophysical properties. Some computational results are compared with Sato's experimental data for the validation of calculations in case of vaporization. The comparison between predictions and experiments showed quite a good agreement. Droplet surface temperature increased with increasing pressure. Ignition time increased with increasing initial droplet diameter. Temporal or spatial distribution of mass fraction, mass diffusivity, Lewis number, thermal conductivity, and specific heat were presented.

A study of high-pressure n-heptane droplet vaporization is conducted with emphasis placed on equilibrium at vapor-liquid interface. General frame of previous rigorous model[1] is retained but tailored for flash equilibrium calculation of vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics. The model is based on complete time-dependent conservation equations with a full account of variable properties and vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics. The influences of high-pressure phenomena, including ambient gas solubility, thermodynamic non-ideality, and property variation on the droplet evaporation are investigated. The governing equations and associated moving interfacial boundary conditions are solved numerically using a implicit scheme with the preconditioning method and the dual time integration technique. And a parametric study of entire droplet vaporization history as a function of ambient pressure, temperature has been conducted. Some computational results are compared with Sato's experimental data for the validation of calculations. For low ambient temperatures, the droplet lifetime first increases with pressures, then decreases for high pressures. For higher ambient temperatures, the droplet lifetime increase with less amplitude than that of low ambient temperatures, which then decreases with more amplitude than that of low temperatures. The solubility of nitrogen can not be neglected in the high pressure and it becomes higher as the pressure goes up.

본 연구에서 개발한 고압증발 모델을 이용하여 고압 연소장에서의 액체연료추진제의 증발 과정을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 고압상태에서 액적의 증발 특성에 중요한 영향을 미치는 실제 기체의 거동, 온도 및 압력에 따른 가변물성치의 영향, 주위기체의 용해현상을 고려하였고 일반적인 상평형 관계식을 이용하였다. 실험치와 비교하여 고압증발모델의 예측능력을 체계적으로 검증하였고 로켓엔진의 고온 고압 연소실조건에서 LOX 액적의 증발 특성을 상세하게 논의하였다.

Characteristics of droplet vaporization at high ambient pressures and temperatures which are supercritical conditions is studied numerically by formulating one dimensional vaporization model in liquid dodecane and air. Modified Soave-Redlich-Kwong state equation is used to condider real gas effect. Non-ideal behavior of properties at near critical and supercritical conditions is considered in the high pressure condition. Characteristic spatial distribution of properties with various conditions of pressure and temperature is evaluated in order to understand vaporizing evolution.

In this study, numerical investigation has been performed on the evolution of key-hole geometry during high-energy density laser welding process. Unsteady phase-change heat transfer and fluid flow with the surface tension and recoil pressure are simulated. To model the overheated surface temperature and recoil pressure considering subsonic/sonic vapor flow, the one-dimensional vaporization models proposed by Ganesh and Knight are coupled over liquid-vapor interface. It is shown that the present model predicts well both the vaporization physics and the fluid flow in the thin liquid layer over the other model.

A systematic numerical experiment has been conducted to study droplet gasification in high pressure environments with pressure oscillations. The general frame of previous rigorous model[1] is retained but tailored for flash equilibrium calculation of vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics. Time-dependent conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentrations are formulated in axisymmetric coordinate system for both the droplet interior and ambient gases. In addition, a unified property evaluation scheme based on the fundamental equation of state and empirical methods are used to find fluid thermophysical properties over the entire thermodynamic domain of interest. The governing equations with appropriate physical boundary conditions are numerically time integrated using an implicit finite-difference method with a dual time-stepping technique. A series of calculation have been carried out to investigate the gasification of an isolated n-pentane droplet in a nitrogen gas environment over a wide range of ambient pressures and frequencies. Results show that the mean pressures and frequencies of the ambient gas have strong influences on the characteristics of the droplet gasification. The amplitude of the response increases with increasing pressure, and the magnitude of the vaporization response increases with the frequency.

초임계 상태의 질소 유동 환경에서 헵탄 액적의 기화 특성을 수치적으로 연구하였다. 더불어 실기체 효과와 액적 내부 순환, 다양한 열역학적 물성치 및 고압 효과를 고려하였다. 또한 헵탄 액적 바로 근처에서의 저속 유동 문제를 풀기 위하여 예조건화 스킴을 적용한 시간 전진법을 수치 코드에 적용하였다. 주위 유동 속도와 주위 압력을 변화 시켜가면서 액적의 거동을 살펴보았다. 유동 속도 증가로 인한 레이놀즈수의 증가에 따라 액적의 변형이 활발히 이루어졌고, 동일한 레이놀즈수에 대해서는 압력이 높아질수록 액적의 변형이 약화되었다.

The present study has numerically investigates the vaporization, auto-ignition and combustion processes in the high-pressure and high-temperature conditions encountered in the diesel engine. In the present study, in order to understand the overall spray combustion characteristics of DME fuel as well as to identify the distinctive differences of DME combustion processes compared to conventional hydrocarbon liquid fuels, the sequence of the comparative analysis has been systematically made for DME and n-Heptane liquid fuels. Computations for DME fuel are made for two cases including constant fuel mass flow rate condition and fixed heat release rate. Based on numerical results, the discussions are made for the detailed combustion processes of DME and n-Heptane spray.
