Freezing of a spherical drop

Input(s)

$v_{y 0}$: Horizontal Velocity $(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})$

$v_{\infty}$: Velocity $(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})$

$\mathrm{x}$: Distance $(\mathrm{cm})$

$\mu$: Viscosity $(\mathrm{cP})$

Output(s)

K: Net Mass Flux from the Plate (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{K}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{y} 0}}{\mathrm{v}_{\infty}}\right) *\left(\left(\frac{2 * \mathrm{v}_{\infty} * \mathrm{x}}{\mu}\right)^{0.5}\right) $$
