The Shell autoignition model with the value of the pre-exponential factor in the rate of
production of the intermediate agent (A f 4) in the range between 3× 106 and 6× 1O6 has …

New approaches to numerical modelling of droplet heating and evaporation by convection
and radiation from the surrounding hot gas are suggested. The finite thermal conductivity of …

Absorption and scattering spectral efficiency factors for spherical semi-transparent fuel
droplets are approximated by simple analytical expressions as functions of imaginary and …

Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of …

Absorption spectra of several types of diesel fuel are studied experimentally. Index of
refraction of these fuels is calculated using subtractive Kramers–Krönig analysis. The ageing …

The system of equations describing the effects of heating, evaporation, and combustion of
fuel droplets in a monodisperse spray is simplified assuming that the Nusselt and Sherwood …

Absorption spectra of four types of diesel fuel are studied experimentally in the range
between 0.2 μm and 6 μm. The ageing process of fuels is simulated by prolonged boiling …

Preferential accumulation and agglomeration kinetics of nanoparticles suspended in an
acoustically levitated water droplet under radiative heating has been studied. Particle image …

An approximate description is given of the basic characteristics of absorption and scattering
of infrared radiation by polydisperse droplets of diesel fuel. It is demonstrated that the …
