Study on the Heat Transfer Characteristics of an Ambient Air Vaporizer with Multi-Component Fluids
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I recommend its publication with following suggestions to improve the quality of presentation
- What problem was studied and why is it impact? What is the novelty of the work and where does it go to beyond previous effects in the literature
- The main equations (1-3) should be referenced. What are the novel terms studied here?
- The novelty elaborated here should be emphasized with clear points.
- Validate your code and model from the available literature.
- How select the range of the variable parameters?
- The main weakness of this paper is they have not provided the application of the present study in the real world problem and are suggested to provide.
- Revise the abstract section to accurately present not only the aim of the study and methodology

Reviewer 2 Report
The authors develop a one-dimensional prediction method for the heat and mass transfer of an ambient air vaporizer for LNG vaporization. Comparing the numerical results with experimental data in literature confirms its validity. Several numerical simulations are presented for discussing the effects of the relevant parameters. The subject of the study is suitable for the journal. Please consider the following minor comments:
Some equations need to have reference citations, e.g. Eq. (4), to make clear the basis of the correlations.
Fig. 2: are the length and time iterations iterative process for the outer loop? If so, the flowchart should be modified.
Fig. 3(a)-(d) can be integrated into single chart.
The data sources of Fig. 12 should be mentioned.
Fig. 19(a)-(b) can be integrated into single chart.
The author contribution section should be filled.
Recheck the references. Ref. 36 has multiple authors, but only the first author is given in the manuscript.
