Heat transfer rates to spray droplets under conditions corresponding to those of spray transients in a pressurizer of pressurized water reactor (PWR) have been predicted by a simple droplet model with internal thermal resistance and partial internal mixing. In those processes, the temperature distributions in the droplet have been obtained using the integral method, and the physical properties of the saturated steam-hydrogen gas mixture surrounding the droplets are estimated applying the concept of compressibility factor and using appropriate correlations. Results have been provided for the temporal variations of total heat flux with its convection and condensation heat transfer components, dimensionless droplet bulk temperature and droplet flight distance. The effects of ambient pressure, initial droplet size, concentration of hydrogen gas in the mixture, initial injection velocity, and spray angle on the heat transfer of spray droplets have been discussed.
