A practical engineering calculation method has been formulated for commercial multicomponent fuel stagnant droplet evaporation with variable finite mass and thermal diffusivity. Instead of solving the transient liquid phase mass and heat transfer partial differential equation set, a totally different approach is used. With zero or infinite mass diffusion resistance in liquid phase, it is possible to obtain vapor pressure and vapor molecular mass based on the distillation curve of these turbine fuels. It is determined that Peclet number (Pef) is a suitable parameter to represent the mass diffusion resistance in liquid phase. The vapor pressure and vapor molecular mass at constant finite Pef is expressed as a function of finite Pef, vapor pressure, and molecular mass at zero Pef and infinite Pef. At any time step, with variable finite Pef, the above equation is still valid, and PFsPef=∞, PFsPef=0, MfvPef=∞, MfvPef=0 are calculated from PFsPef≡∞, PFsPef≡0, MfvPef≡∞, MfvPef≡0, thus PFs and Mfv can be determined in a global way which eventually is based on the distillation curve of fuel. The explicit solution of transient heat transfer equation is used to have droplet surface temperature and droplet average temperature as a function of surface Nusselt number and non-dimensional time. The effect of varying com position of multi-component fuel evaporation is taken into account by expressing the properties as a function of molecular mass, acentric factor, critical temperature, and critical pressure. A specific calculation method is developed for liquid fuel diffusion coefficient, also special care is taken to calculate the binary diffusion coefficient of fuel vapor-air in gaseous phase. The effect of Stefan flow and natural convection has been included. The predictions from the present evaporation model for different turbine fuels under very wide temperature ranges have been compared with experimental data with good agreement.

Microtribological measurements of a hydrogenated diamondlike carbon film in controlled gaseous environments show that water vapor plays a significant role in the friction coefficient. These experiments reveal an initial high friction transient behavior that does not reoccur even after extended periods of exposure to low partial pressures of H2O and O2. Experiments varying both water vapor pressure and sample temperature show trends of a decreasing friction coefficient as a function of both the decreasing water vapor pressure and the increasing substrate temperature. Theses trends are examined with regard to first order gas-surface interactions. Model fits give activation energies on the order of 40 kJ/mol, which is consistent with water vapor desorption.

Almost All

From a molecular perspective, we described the origin of surface tension. Surface tension is exceptionally good at rounding things out, such as bubbles can produce in surfactant solution , also in liquid or vapor-liquid phase transition. Through the experiment of determination of saturated vapor pressure of pure liquids, maybe we can conclude that almost all the bubbles were generated as result of the breakup of the gas-liquid interface.
