Particle enthalpy evaporation

Alternatively, the thin-skin model, which assumes an infinite diffusion resistance with only a thin layer on the droplet surface being heated and evaporated, can be used. This second assumption is more appropriate for cases in which the droplet reaches its boiling temperature immediately after the start of the evaporation process. All the other approaches (such as the diffusion-limited model), which are recommended in the case of mulhcompo-nent droplets, require some form of spahal discretization inside the droplet, resulting in much higher computational costs. To close the set of equahons, it is necessary to describe the evolution of the droplet temperature Tp as discussed in Section 5.2.3. For example, upon including the effect of evaporation on the heat flux for the rapid-mixing model, the particle-enthalpy balance yields... 

Endotliermic Decompositions These decompositions are mostly reversible. The most investigated substances have been hydrates and hydroxides, which give off water, and carbonates, which give off CO9. Dehydration is analogous to evaporation, and its rate depends on the moisture content of the gas. Activation energies are nearly the same as reaction enthalpies. As the reaction proceeds in the particle, the rate of reaction is impeded hy resistance to diffusion of the water through the already formed product. A particular substance may have sever hydrates. Which one is present will depend on the... 

The temperature of the suspension depends on heat and enthalpy flows. Thus, the enthalpy of the film is influenced by the absorbed mass of sulfur dioxide, the evaporated water mass, the injected mass of the suspension as well as the masses of product and non-converted material in the film at the particle. The heat flow from the gas and from the particle to the film must also be considered. The changes of the molecular structure of the involved components arising due to chemical reactions... 

Evaporation of particles. This is essentially the same as described by Eq. 4 (with particle absorption cross-section being crp rp2 for rp>>A and very small particles with low vaporization enthalpy. 

To allow a very fast energy input, steam is used. The steam is condensed at the cold particles and at the mold walls and gives off its evaporation enthalpy. Due to the high reduction in volume during condensation, new steam flows in. This ensures a very efficient and fast heat transfer. Inert gases like air worsen the heat transfer substantially so the steam flow has a particular role to play.
