Energy Management In Water Droplet Evaporation. Analysis of the Process

A theoretical model, describing the process of a water droplet travelling in air during a sprinkler irrigation process, and a whole set of analysis parameters were employed to assess the effect of each parameter on some relevant variables, such as: the droplet travel distance, the droplet time of flight, and the final droplet temperature. The description provided, completed by a few assumptions and implemented numerically by means of a Runge-Kutta fourth order method, led to an actual representation of such very complicate process. The results, represented in graphical form by a number of figures, allowed for a thorough assessment of the mutual parametric interactions and showed which parameters prove to affect more significantly the phenomenon.
