Hello,
I am new to COMSOL multiphysics. I am trying to simulate nanofluid (2% by volume graphite nanoparticles in ethyl alcohol base fluid) evaporation. I am considering just one single droplet in air and an external radiation falling on this droplet. What I expect is that ethyl alcohol will vaporize first retaining an agglomerated graphite particle cloud. Could you please advice/share your experience, a) which model to use for nanofluid evaporation? b) if it is at all possible to couple radiation to multi-phase model? c) how to consider particle motion inside droplet during evaporation? Any suggestion/comments regarding this topic would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for your help!
