Numerical Simulation of Vapor Bulk Condensation near the Interfacial Surface under Intensive Evaporation Conditions

Abstract

The results of the numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for intense evaporation from the interfacial surface are used to calculate the kinetics of the bulk condensation process near the evaporation surface. It is shown that during the period of existence of the supersaturated state, predicted based on the solution without taking condensation into account, the condensation aerosol has time to form. When analyzing evaporation from the interfacial surface, it is necessary to take into account the presence of formed droplets in the vapor phase and the thermal effect of condensation on vapor parameters.
