Second law analysis of convective droplet burning
Abstract
The entropy generation due to burning particles in a gaseous stream is considered and the contributions to it compared. A second law analysis is undertaken in order to minimize the entropy generation and, therefore, the lost available work. The optimum flow conditions from this thermodynamically advantageous perspective are determined for a burning droplet at low Reynolds number and an optimum transfer number obtained. The transfer number so …
