Airblast atomizers are especially useful and commonplace in liquid fuel combustion
applications. However, the spray formation processes, the droplet dynamics and the final …

The ongoing energy revolution demands a drastic change in energy carriers used, which
especially stresses the industry and transportation, where combustion seems to have no …

Airblast atomization is a suitable model platform to understand atomization physics since the
atomizer geometry has an insignificant influence on the spray formation. Besides its …

The investigation of renewable liquid fuels has received high attention in the combustion
science of the past decades. However, the combustion of crude rapeseed oil has received …

It is proved that fuel efficiency promotion is an important method to improve the fuel economy
and power output of direct-injection (DI) gasoline engines; moreover, the quality of fuel …

Hydrous ethanol is produced to the largest extent among all renewable liquid fuels. The
utilization of aqueous ethanol, however, seems to be a more economical solution due to …

In this work, lab-scale cold fluidization equipment is designed and constructed to investigate
the mixing and segregating phenomena of binary fluidized beds. The focus of the …

Atomization involves mass, energy, and impulse transfer, in such a complex way that the
overall process can only be described by empirical and semi-empirical correlations to date …

Calculation of evaporation requires accurate thermophysical properties of the liquid. Such
data are well-known for conventional fossil fuels. In contrast, eg, thermal conductivity or …

Stringent emissions standards for NOx and carbon monoxide (CO) prompt lean combustor
development. With this motivation, combustion stability issues emerge since the desired …
