A pellet target produces micro-spheres of different materials, which are used as an internal target for nuclear and particle physics studies. We will describe the pellet hydrogen behavior by means of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. In particular one aim is to theoretically understand the cooling effect in order to find an effective method to optimize the working conditions of a pellet target. During the droplet formation the evaporative cooling is best described by a multi-droplet diffusion-controlled model, while in vacuum, the evaporation follows the (revised) Hertz-Knudsen formula. Experimental observations compared with calculations clearly indicated the presence of supercooling, the effect of which is discussed as well.
