Adding water to fuel droplets is known to lead to puffing and micro-explosion. Puffing and
micro-explosion lead to a rapid increase in the liquid fuel surface area. This, in turn, leads to …

The environmental, economic, and energy problems of the modern world motivate the
development of alternative fuel technologies. Multifuel technology can help reduce the …

The explosive breakup of liquid, emulsion, and slurry droplets enables a several-fold
increase of their evaporation surface area. This effect reduces the energy and time required …

The results of experimental investigations of puffing, micro-explosions and autoignition of
composite fuel/water droplets free falling in a high temperature air are presented. The …

The evaporation and secondary atomization of droplets in cylinder has been confirmed to be
one of major factors determining combustion efficiency. Experiments were carried out to …

One of the known and still unsolved problems of internal combustion engines and liquid fuel
power plants is the complexity of efficient (ie with minimal cost of basic resources: time …

The disintegration of drops of liquids, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, and fuels is one of
the most effective ways to enhance heating and evaporation. However, in some cases, the …

Microexplosion and ignition characteristics of biodiesel/ethanol blends were studied by
suspending single droplets on fibers in a tubular oven at different ambient conditions. The …

The heating of two-component droplets and the following explosive breakup of those
droplets have been extensively studied over the most recent years. These processes are of …

This study improved existing models by conducting experiments to determine breakup
delay, child droplet dynamics, and the effect of microexplosion. Direct imaging was used …
