Compute the rate of evaporation from a single droplet


Solve the below problem:

Q: In a home furnace humidification system, water droplets of diameter D are discharged in a direction opposing the motion of warm air emerging from the heater. The air is humidified by evaporation from the droplets, and the excess water is collected on a splash plate from which it is routed to a drain. Consider condition for which air enters the heater at a temperature and relative humidity of 17°C and 70%, respectively, and leaves the heater at a temperature of 47°C. The droplet diameter is 1 mm, and the relative velocity between the droplets and the heated air is 15 m/s. During the time-of-f1ight, the change in droplet diameter may be neglected and the droplet temperature may be assumed to remain at 47°C. What is the rate of evaporation from a single droplet?
