Difference in the conditions and characteristics of evaporation of inhomogeneous water drops in a high-temperature gaseous medium

The evaporation of water drops of initial mass 5–15 mg on a stationary graphite substrate, as well as inhomogeneous drops with solitary solid inclusions, during heating by high-temperature combustion products has been investigated experimentally. Experiments have also been carried out with analogous inhomogeneous drops moving through combustion products. The possibility of two mechanisms of phase transformations of inhomogeneous liquid drops has been established. The scales of the effect of the area of the inclusion surface (up to 20%) and the initial mass of water (up to 90%) on the characteristics of the evaporation of inhomogeneous drops have been determined.
