Laminar mass transfer in the wake region of closely spaced drops
Abstract
A wake mass transfer model is presented for calculating the gas concentration between two drops accelerating on a one-dimensional trajectory. Interactions between the closely-spaced drops are a function of the frequency of drop release, initial drop velocity and drop diameter. Consideration is given to the interactions among three spherical drops in flows at Re from 50-400. The model is shown, through the results of sample calculations, capable of quantifying the concentrations profiles in the wake region, the radial velocity profiles for different fixed interdrop regions, and the diameter of the wake corridor behind individual drops as a function of Re.
