Freezing of a spherical drop
Input(s)
\(v_{y 0}\): Horizontal Velocity \((\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})\)
\(v_{\infty}\): Velocity \((\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})\)
\(\mathrm{x}\): Distance \((\mathrm{cm})\)
\(\mu\): Viscosity \((\mathrm{cP})\)
Output(s)
K: Net Mass Flux from the Plate (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{K}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{y} 0}}{\mathrm{v}_{\infty}}\right) *\left(\left(\frac{2 * \mathrm{v}_{\infty} * \mathrm{x}}{\mu}\right)^{0.5}\right)
\]
