Évaporation en convection naturelle sur une plaque verticale chauffée à flux variable (Evaporation by natural convection on a vertical plate heated by a variable flux) (Q1072406)

Evaporation by laminar natural convection on a wet vertical flate plate heated with a height dependent heat flux is studied. This study, made under restrictive assumptions, is achieved by semi-analytical methods and a numerical method. Comparison between these methods are made and results are obtained for the case of water evaporation in air for different values of N; ratio of the buoyancy forces at the wall. Then, a fast approximate method for the determination of N is presented.
