Abstract
Simple expressions for the rate of change of droplet mass and droplet temperature are derived for an arbitrary convective environment, under the assumptions: (1) unity Lewis number, or constant Lewis number and equal gas-phase species C/sub p/, and (2) uniform conditions on the droplet surface. Supplemented by a suitable droplet heat-flux correlation, these equations form a simple, but quite general, droplet phase change model.
