In this study, a computational model for the evaporation from a sessile liquid droplet fed from the center to keep the diameter of the droplet constant is presented. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved with temperature dependent thenno-physical properties using COMSOL Multi-physics. At the surface of the droplet, convective heat and evaporative mass fluxes are assigned. Since the flow field is affected by evaporative flux, an iterative scheme is built and the computation is automated using COMSOL-MATLAB interface. Correlations are implemented to predict the convective heat transfer coefficients and evaporative flux. Three different wall temperatures are used in simulations. The results show that the flow inside the droplet is dominated by buoyancy when the effect of the thermo-capillarity is neglected. The resulting flow generates a circulation pattern emerging from the entrance to the apex, along the surface of the droplet to the bottom heated wall and back to the entrance.

Mathematical Modeling of Turbulent Flows of Newtonian Fluids in a Concentric Annulus with Pipe Rotation SORGUN, MEHMET; Aydın, İsmail; ÖZBAYOĞLU, Evren; SCHUBERT, J J (2012-03-01) In this study, a mathematical model is proposed to predict flow characteristics of Newtonian fluids inside a concentric horizontal annulus. A numerical solution, including pipe rotation, is developed for calculating frictional head losses in concentric annuli for turbulent flow. Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved using the finite differences technique to obtain the velocity field. Experiments with water are performed in a concentric annulus with and without pipe rotation. Average fluid velocitie...
Simulation of dissolution of silicon in an indium solution by spectral methods Coskun, AU; Yener, Y; Arinc, F (IOP Publishing, 2002-09-01) The results of a numerical simulation of natural convection due to concentration gradients during dissolution of silicon in an indium solution in a horizontal substrate-solution-substrate system are presented. The Chebyshev-Tau spectral method has been used for the simulations. The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature. It is concluded that the discrepancies in the dissolution depths between the previous simulations and experimental data, especially at the...
Application of isokinetic sampling technique for local solid densities in upward liquid-solid flows through an annulus Camçı, Gülden; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) In this study, radial solid density distributions in upward flowing water-feldspar mixtures through a concentric annulus were investigated. Local solid density measurements were performed at a test cross-section in the fully developed flow region of a concentric annulus, which is a part of a closed-loop system consisting of a head tank, a variable speed slurry pump, an orificemeter, a heat exchanger, an annulus, a temperature probe, and a drain line. The solid particles with mean diameters of 72 and 138 ?m ...
Numerical Analysis of Viscoelastic Fluids in Steady Pressure-Driven Channel Flow YAPICI, KERİM; Karasözen, Bülent; Uludağ, Yusuf (2012-05-01) The developing steady flow of Oldroyd-B and Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluids through a two-dimensional rectangular channel is investigated computationally by means of a finite volume technique incorporating uniform collocated grids. A second-order central difference scheme is employed to handle convective terms in the momentum equation, while viscoelastic stresses are approximated by a third-order accurate quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) scheme. Momentum interpolation method...
Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microchannels with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity Gözükara, Arif Cem; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study simultaneously developing single phase, laminar and incompressible flow in a micro gap between parallel plates is numerically analyzed by including the effect of variation in thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature. Variable property solutions for continuity, momentum and energy equations are performed in a coupled manner, for air as a Newtonian fluid. In these analyses the rarefaction effect, which is important for the slip flow regime, is taken into account by imposing slip veloc...
