A theoretical correlation for the Nusselt number in direct contact evaporation of a moving drop in an immiscible liquid

TLDR
In this paper, numerical solutions for the Nusselt number during the direct contact evaporation of a moving drop in a stagnant column of immiscible liquid are presented.
Abstract
Numerical solutions for the Nusselt number during the direct contact evaporation of a moving drop in a stagnant column of immiscible liquid are presented. The effect of bubble growth rate on the radial component of drop velocity is taken into account in the analysis and the Nusselt number is found to be a function of Peclet number, Jakob number and vapour open angle. A comparison of theoretical and experimental correlations for the Nusselt number shows good agreement. The analysis also yields information on the temperature profile and the thickness of the thermal boundary layer surrounding the evaporating drop.

Vaporization of single liquid drops in an immiscible liquid Part I: Forms and motions of vaporizing drops

TL;DR: In this article, the instantaneous velocity of rise of two-phase bubbles agreed approximately with Stokes' theory in the range Re < 1, and the liquid-liquid interfacial area takes almost a constant value slightly higher than the initial surface area of the liquid drop, and then reduces gradually.
