thereby the water evaporation, hence there is quicker development of the solid layer.<br />

The solid layer forms in about 1.7 s with U g = 0.65 m/s, whereas with U g = 10 m/s, the<br />

solid layer forms in about 0.75 s. A closer look reveals that there is higher droplet mass<br />

at any given time after solid layer formation when compared with lower gas velocity<br />

situation, which means that increased gas velocity would lead to larger particle and<br />

the porosity, defined as the ratio of the volume occupied by water at the instance of<br />
