The effects of jet parameters, such as jet inclination angle, impingement distance, jet Reynolds number (<em>Re</em>_j), and nozzle diameter are explored. The liquid film flow is visualized using a high-speed camera, and the surface temperature and heat flux are obtained by solving the inverse heat conduction problem. The results indicate that the liquid film shape is strongly affected by jet inclination angle but is almost unaffected by other parameters. As the inclination angle increases, the liquid film shape changes from elliptical to fusiform. In addition, the onset, enhancement, and disappearance of boiling cause the expansion and contraction of liquid film. The splashing rate is barely affected by jet parameters and remains within the range of 80–95 % under all conditions. The propagation of wetting fronts exhibits anisotropy. Except for the impingement distance, the position of wetting fronts along <em>y</em>-axis direction displays a high dependence on all parameters. The <em>Re</em>_j and nozzle diameter have a significant effect on the heat flux at the impingement point and parallel flow zone, while the jet inclination angle and impingement distance only effect the impingement point. The visualization image proves that the droplet impingement pattern is the main reason for the increase in heat flux at higher impingement distances.

A three-dimensional transient multiphysics model is first constructed by elaborately coupling time-dependent multiple physics during the dynamic growth of condensing droplets. Considering variable surface wettability and industrially universal applications, heat transport characteristics of condensing droplets in these two scenes are comparatively analyzed over a wide range of the droplet radius (500–1000 μm), contact angle (60–120°), and subcooling (1–50 K). It is found that internal convection resulting from the thermocapillary effect and curved vapor/liquid interface plays a progressively prominent role as the contact angle and subcooling increase, accordingly dominating heat transport within droplets. In the steam scene, internal convection is activated neighboring the triple-phase contact line at which the temperature gradient exists solely. In comparison, in the air case, the external vapor diffusion promotes a non-uniform temperature profile over the droplet surface, and the temperature gradient is extended toward the whole surface with stronger internal convection and heat transport enhancement. In general, the quantitative analysis demonstrates that driven by strong internal convection, the total heat flow rate through the droplet can be increased by several times for both two scenes.

In this paper, the Euler-Euler Source numerical model coupled with high-accuracy carbon dioxide real gas property table is established for transonic compressible flow in the Laval nozzle. The non-equilibrium effects of expansion and condensation during transonic flow in the nozzle are discussed and the relationships between inlet parameters, droplet distribution and nucleation rates are also analyzed. The numerical result shows that the non-equilibrium characteristic during the expansion process causes the delay of condensation in the nozzle, resulting in an overestimation of the prediction of carbon dioxide condensation region based on the homogeneous equilibrium model. Shock wave of transonic flow further amplifies the deviation of results and leads to over 12 % overestimation of liquid mass fraction. Increasing the inlet pressure and decreasing the inlet temperature can cause the forward movement of the condensation onset and the reduce of the nucleation region.
