3.2.4 Example A: Flow around a sphere

Course subject(s) 3. Convection: mass and heat transport

We are going to look at the analogy of heat and mass transfer in case of flow around a sphere. So, we have a sphere with diameter , where air is flowing around with a velocity .

When the sphere is hot, we have a heat flux. When the sphere is evaporating slowly, we have mass flow. Prove that if the Reynolds Number is much bigger than 1 the ratio of the heat flow over the mass flow is independent from the velocity and the viscosity of the air flowing around it.

Sorry but there don't seem to be any downloads..
