Evaporation in low pressures
Continuum assumption is no longer valid when the pressure is relatively low.
For low density gases in equilibrium the kinetic theory applies.
Nanopowder production occurs in the transition regime and in this region the Boltzmann equation should be solved for the velocity distribution.
Evaporation data of solution droplets for low pressures is very sparse in the literature.

• Single Droplet Generation
• Multiple Droplet Generation: A droplet with several satellites
• Difficult to produce, but relatively repeatable
• Droplets wander during their fall. To reduce droplet drift, a glass tube will be used around the flow path.

• Boundary Layer Equations of Momentum, Energy and Mass is applied to the boundary layer around the droplet.
• For the stagnation point and the shoulder region (θ=π/2), where the pressure gradient is zero and the flow locally behaves like a flat-plate flow, local similarity is believed to be a very good approximation

With a certain coordinate transformation, the large Peclet number problem can be cast as a one-dimensional, unsteady
problem (Tong and Sirignano ).
In axisymmetric form of the energy equation, and in a large Peclet number situation, heat and mass transport within the droplet involve a strong convective transfer along the streamline with conduction primarily normal to the stream surface

• At any given time instant with known droplet surface temperature Ts and solvent phase species mass fraction Yls, ,the gas phase species mass fractions at the droplet surface Ygs
can be obtained by means of Raoult’s and Clausius-Clapyron laws.
• Therefore, boundary conditions of the gas phase equation will be determined.
• From the solution of the gas phase, the boundary conditions of the liquid phase will be
determined.
• Enegy and concentration equations will be solved. The new droplet surface temperature and the new liquid phase mass fractions at the droplet surface are used for the gas phase solution for the next time step.
• When the surface concentration reaches the critical super saturation (CSS), precipitation starts from the surface of the droplet
• If at this moment, the concentration of the droplet center is higher than the equilibrium saturation (ES) of the solution, a solid particle will form, otherwise, the particle will be hollow.
• This new model predicts that the dried particle will have two not necessarily spherical pores on account of the fluid circulation within the droplets
