Theory of thermophoresis of a large evaporating droplet in a viscous nonisothermal binary gaseous medium

Abstract

Thermophoretic motion of a spherical evaporating droplet in a viscous binary gas medium at arbitrary relative temperature differences in its vicinity is theoretically described in a quasistationary approximation at low Reynolds and Peclet numbers. A system of gas-dynamic equations is solved, including a velocity-linearized system of Navier-Stokes equations, as well as heat and mass transfer equations
