Numerical analysis of the evaporation of water flowing across an inclined plate in a laminar and turbulent moist-air current
The authors have proposed an appropriate model based on the liquid film transfer equations which are one-dimensional, partially two-dimensional and two-dimensional. They have compared their results with those of other work; and studied the influence of the liquid mass flow rate and the inclined angle. They have shown that the interfacial heat transfer is dominated by the latent heat transfer; the contribution of the sensible heat is only important in the turbulent region where the interfacial temperature and the evaporating mass flux are practically constant and the thickness of the liquid film is uniform. For the adiabatic plate, the liquid mass flow rate and the inclined angle have no influence on the transfers. For the isothermal or the heated plate, the liquid mass flow rate essentially influences the turbulent region by reducing the interfacial temperature and the heat and mass transfer coefficients. However, the inclination angle affects mainly the laminar region by increasing the interfacial velocity, reducing the film thickness and has little effects on the transfer coefficients.
