1. Introduction

The ability to predict to predict droplet evaporation rate and diameterof nozzle is important to in many application such as spray combustion,spray cooling and many more.

Assumptions: 1. One-dimensional conduction in the radial direction.

Figure 1: Water droplet

Water droplet of initial radius Ro and temperature To is spay in the vac-uum of saturation temperature of Ts. R is the transient radius of the droplet.

In spherical coordinates the radial form of the heat flux vector and Fouri-ers law is
