... (10,000–100,000) and curvature ratios (0.02–0.05). The emissivity and optical thickness have been varied from 0.0 to 1.0 and 0.0 to 8.0, respectively, to investigate the effect of thermal radiation on heat transfer characteristics in spiral-coiled tubes. For the considered Reynolds number range...

... a one-dimensional evaporative mass flux expression was obtained and combined with the radiation heat transfer model. The combined radiation-evaporation model was used to analyze the influence of the exit temperature and the optical thickness of the droplet layer on temperature distribution, evaporation...
