Fuel consumption and energy efficiency are still of great interest in combustion engineering
and science. This state-of-the-art review revisits the fuel droplet heating and evaporation in …

The results of a series of experiments focused on investigation of the heating and
evaporation of suspended water droplets in a hot air flow (at temperatures up to 800° C) are …

A simplified model for bi-component droplet heating and evaporation is developed and
applied for the analysis of the observed average droplet temperatures in a monodisperse …

With its high gravimetric and volumetric heat value, boron-based nanofluid fuel is potentially
well suited for future high-energy propulsion systems. In this experimental study, we …

The earlier reported simplified model for multi-component droplet heating and evaporation is
generalised to take into account the coupling between droplets and the ambient gas. The …

The effects of ambient pressure, initial gas temperature and combustion reaction on the
evaporation of a single fuel droplet and multiple fuel droplets are investigated by means of …

The accelerated depletion of oil reserves and the often exorbitant cost of fossil fuels
contribute to the development of fuels from renewable sources. The objective of this work is …

A new multi-dimensional quasi-discrete model is suggested and tested for the analysis of
heating and evaporation of Diesel fuel droplets. As in the original quasi-discrete model …

In this review, recent models for the heating/evaporation of multicomponent and blended
fuel droplets and their implementation into numerical codes, used for the analysis of the …

An n-heptane spray jet flame is characterised through quantitative measurements using
laser-based techniques. The experimental set-up is composed of an annular non-swirled air …
