Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter describes spray combustion in geometrically simple systems. The theoretical modeling of the behavior of a spray flame in a combustion chamber is of considerable importance in the design or improvement of combustion equipment as the influence of many of the controlling parameters is tested rapidly and more cheaply than testing prototype combustion chambers. Mathematical analyses of spray combustion systems were based on one-dimensional models initially that have been replaced by 2-D and 3-D computational models for complex flow situations they can be used in many circumstances such as laminar flames and are also useful to illustrate the principles of spray combustion. To obtain a full understanding of the processes involved in spray combustion, it was first necessary to have complete knowledge of (a) the rate of combustion of the individual droplets that make up the spray and the nature of the combustion products, (b) the description of the droplets that make up the spray with regard to size and spatial distribution, and (c) any interaction between the individual droplets when they undergo combustion in the spray.
