Abstract Urea-water solution droplet evaporation is modelled using multi-component droplet evaporation approach. The heat and mass transfer process of a
multi-component droplet is implemented in the Langrangian framework through a custom code in ANSYS-Fluent R15. The evaporation process is
defined by a convection-diffusion controlled model which includes the effect of Stefan flow. A rapid mixing model assumption is used for the droplet
internal physics. The code is tested on a single multi-component droplet and the predicted evaporation rates at different ambient temperatures are
compared with the experimental data in the literature. The approach is used to More >
