Spray cooling characteristics under reduced gravity

Abstract

bution in the medium and much higher radiative wall flux along the plates than the correlated formulations. This difference comes from the statistical relationship for determining the absorption location. The R{ calculated from the noncorrelated formulation, Eq. (9), is greater than that from the correlated formulations, Eqs. (8) and (13). Therefore, for the noncorrelated formulation, an energy bundle travels a long distance and is likely to be absorbed on the wall. This also explains why the CPU time required for the noncorrelated solution is larger than that required for the corresponding correlated solution.
