Default Droplet Evaporation

Hello.

I trie to calculate the evaporation time of a droplet and the changing of the ambient conditions like relative humditiy, temperature etc.

The droplet is considered in an isolated volume with the radius ra. This model is assumed from the ASME Paper GT-2002-30562.

The given values at the beginning are: Ta - ambient temperature (303 K) RH - relative humidtiy (0.6) pa - pressure of ambient air (1 atm) Td- temperature of the droplet (300 K) RA- Radius of the control volume (500 * 10^-6 m) Dd - droplet diameter (50*10^-6 m)

I wrote a little code in Excel-Vba to calculate the transient behaviour of the droplet. I know there must be a mistake in this code but i cannot find it. Maybe somebody could have a look at it and give me a feedback.

Here the Code: the comments are in german, if you want i can change it into english

No chance to copy the code from excel into this . If somebody has a clue in droplet evaporation and would like to help me, please send me your email adress and i will send the calculations. Thank you... Christian.
