The energetics and dynamics of n-heptane droplets evaporating in their own 800 K vapour
at 1 and 10 bar have been studied using a finite-volume-based numerical method at …

The effect of initial droplet diameter on the burning rate of sooting fuels–n-heptane and 1-
chloro-octane–was examined experimentally at low gravity. A 1.2 s drop tower provided a …

The evaporation of a moving liquid drop has been investigated. The drop experiences an
evaporation-induced radial velocity field while undergoing slow translation. In view of the …

An experimental method is described for studying the combustion of a stationary
unsupported fuel droplet in a stagnant ambience under very low gravity. A unique feature of …

Motivated by the study of spray combustion, this work addresses the combustion of non-
spherical droplets. The combustion of spray is usually understood through the theory of …

Evaporation of a macroscopic-scale sessile droplet on different hot isothermal substrates
has been experimentally investigated, for the framework of planning space experiments …

The evaporation and combustion of a single-component fuel droplet which is moving slowly
in a hot oxidant atmosphere have been analysed using perturbation methods. Results for …

The combustion of a freely falling dodecane droplet has been studied experimentally in a
droptower-like facility under ambient conditions. A unique ignition mechanism is used by …

Publisher Summary The study of direct-contact heat and mass transfer to liquid droplets
(dispersed phase) moving in a fluid medium (continuous phase) is of interest because the …

A diagnostic technique based on the oxygen quenching of laser-induced fluorescence from
naphthalene has been developed to investigate whether internal circulation is important in …
