Abstract
The characteristics of the joint flow of a two-component evaporative liquid and gas–vapor mixture in a narrow channel are under study. A two-sided mathematical model based on the equations of incompressible fluid flow is used for the analysis. The constructed exact solution is applied to investigate the influence of the thicknesses of lower layer on the flow characteristics. It is assumed that the surface tension of the evaporating liquid is a linear function of temperature and a quadratic function of the concentration of the evaporating component. Such a distribution of surface tension is inherent in ethanol-aqueous solutions.
The thickness of the liquid layer at which the mass rate of evaporation is maximized is determined. The distribution of temperature and concentration fields in the working segment is discussed. Changes in the lower layer thickness, where the mass rate of evaporation is maximal, are revealed for variations in the initial concentration of the liquid mixture. Issues related to choice of length of working area are addressed. Verification of the exact solution and the assumptions under which it is constructed is performed through a comparative analysis with experimental data.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of high-quality research results in the various areas of theoretical, applied, and experimental mechanics of solids, fluids, structures, and systems where the phenomena are inherently non-linear.
The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics, vibrations, wave-propagation, rheology, fluid-structure interaction systems, stability, biomechanics, micro- and nano-structures, materials, metamaterials, and in other diverse areas.
Papers may be analytical, computational or experimental in nature. Treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized but physical aspects are not adequately relevant, will not be considered for possible publication. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to both established and emerging fields are encouraged.
