Abstract: | The spherical expansion of gas from an evaporating drop is investigated on the basis of the numerical solution to a model kinetic equation for a gas with rotational degrees of freedom. Examples considered are the stationary evaporation of a drop with given temperature into the vacuum and evaporation of a drop into a gas-filled space under the condition of an energy balance on the drop surface.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 184–187, July–August, 1980. |
