Characteristics of the two-phase mixture formed near the surface of a body by its volatilization into an extraneous gas under steady-state free-convective conditions
Abstract
The characteristics of the two-phase mixture formed as a result of the volume condensation of vapor near the surface of a body volatilizing into an inert gas atmosphere are analyzed numerically under the conditions of steady-state free convection. The volatilization rate is assumed to be subsonic, and the Grashof number to be large. The cases of equilibrium and nonequilibrium condensation are discussed.
