REDUCTION IN THE VAPOR PRESSURE IN CONDENSATION ON COLD DROPLETS OF A LIQUID

A physicomathematical model of the process of depressurization in a pure saturated and superheated vapor due to the injection of monodisperse cold droplets of a liquid has been developed. A cellular model has been developed that is based on solving the equation of heat conduction in a liquid phase and on the integral method for a gas phase in a spherically symmetric one-dimensional formulation. Numerical investigation has been carried out of the in fluence of the size and concentration of the droplets and of the initial parameters of the steam on the dynamics of depressurization during the vapor condensation on the droplets.
