I am studying the evaporation process of water liquid droplet situated in very high gas temperature, and trying to calculate the wet bulb temperature where the liquid will evaporate.
At more common condition of temperature below the critical temperature, the wet bulb temperature is calculated based on the difference in water vapor pressure on liquid surface to that in the surrounding hot air. However, if the air temperature is higher than that, the water (in the continuous phase) is no more vapour but gas (cannot be compressed into liquid), thus the concept of "vapour pressure" does not exist.
How can we measure the droplet evaporation (wet bulb) temperature in such condition?
