Abstract:
The evaporation of water droplets containing carbon nanotubes has been experimentally studied. The droplets were evaporated in a flow of dry air at temperatures in a range of $T_0$ = 20–200$^\circ$C and Reynolds numbers designed on the initial diameter were Re = 500–2000. The results of measurements of the droplet surface temperature and evaporation rate show that the addition of $\sim$0.1 wt% nanoparticles to the base liquid (water) virtually does not change the laws of heat and mass transfer.
