Biodiesel fuel droplet heating and evaporation is investigated using the previously
developed models, taking into account temperature gradient, recirculation, and species …

Biomass is the largest and most important renewable energy option at present. Because of
similar physicochemical properties to gasoline and improved production methods, 2, 5 …

This paper presents measurements of the soot temperature and KL factor for biodiesel and
diesel combustion in a constant volume chamber using a two-color technique. This …

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 …

The present work investigates the differences between ideal and non-ideal vapor–liquid
equilibria (VLE) and their effect on vaporization for multicomponent hydrocarbon fuels …

A new quasi-dimensional multi-component vaporization model considering the finite thermal
conductivity and mass diffusivity within the droplet was constructed. First, the heat flux of …

For a liquid fuel, its vaporization characteristics are important. The determination of
vaporization rates for alternative fuels such as biodiesel and its diesel blends is reported in …

Abstract Effects of ambient temperature, pressure and relative velocity between droplet and
airflow on evaporation characteristics of multi-component droplet were investigated …

Droplet heating and evaporation is of fundamental importance in various engineering
applications. Based on the assumption that droplets' internal temperature follows a third …

Herein three heat and mass transfer models were considered: the well-mixed (WM) model,
the frozen evaporation (FZ) model and the diffusion controlled (DC) model for multi …
