On liquid droplet combustion at high pressures.

Abstract

2 to 5. It is found that in the upstream there is a wake or heat transfer along the x axis and this wake is larger for higher freestream temperature. On the x axis in the upstream the temperature has a significant change in a short distance near the leading edge and becomes essentially uniform beyond the station x/L = —1.9 (not shown). In the y direction the radiation has a large effect on the temperature field in the range 0 < y/L < 0.2. All of these temperature variations are larger in the case of higher freestream temperatures. In the downstream the temperature variation in the vicinity of the plate should be determined from the boundary-layer equations. Here we show the only results for the optically thick case. For the optically thin case the procedure is quite the same. For gases of finite optical depth the energy equation is a nonlinear integro-differential equation of high complexity; this method may still be applicable but needs extensive computing time.
