  2. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    When the sensor is dipped in ethanol and then taken out to evaporate, the instrument shows progressively lower temperature as the ethanol evaporates. Rain evaporating after falling on hot pavement Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [ 1 ]

  3. Aerodynamic potential-flow code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aerodynamic_potential-flow_code

    In fluid dynamics, aerodynamic potential flow codes or panel codes are used to determine the fluid velocity, and subsequently the pressure distribution, on an object. This may be a simple two-dimensional object, such as a circle or wing, or it may be a three-dimensional vehicle.

  4. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    The liquid temperature varies in time until the wet-bulb temperature is reached. If the wet-bulb temperature is reached in a time of the same order of magnitude as the droplet heating time, then the liquid temperature can be considered to be constant with regard to time; model (1), the d 2-law, is obtained.

  5. Vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporization

    Vaporization (or vapo(u)risation) of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor. [1] There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling. Evaporation is a surface phenomenon, whereas boiling is a bulk phenomenon (a phenomenon in which the whole object or substance is involved in the process).

  6. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    During evaporation, steam flows through the channels formed by the free spaces between the plates. The steam alternately climbs and falls parallel to the concentrated liquid. The steam follows a co-current, counter-current path with the liquid. The concentrate and the vapor are fed into the separation stage, where the vapor is sent to a condenser.

  7. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    The accuracy of a simple wet-bulb thermometer depends on how fast air passes over the bulb and how well the thermometer is shielded from the radiant temperature of its surroundings. Speeds up to 5,000 ft/min (~60 mph, 25.4 m/s) are best but it may be dangerous to move a thermometer at that speed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_fuel_cell_terms

    The volumetric flow rate in fluid dynamics and hydrometry, (also known as volume flow rate or rate of fluid flow) is the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time (for example cubic meters per second [m 3 s −1] in SI units, or cubic feet per second [cu ft/s]).

  9. Coffee ring effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_ring_effect

    It is also reported that controlling flow inside a droplet is a powerful way to generate a uniform film; for example, by harnessing solutal Marangoni flows occurring during evaporation. [ 8 ] Mixtures of low boiling point and high boiling point solvents were shown to suppress the coffee ring effect, changing the shape of a deposited solute from ...
