Abstract

In this study, mathematical model of fuel droplet evaporation is developed. Basic relationship of gas phase model is proposed by summarizing a large number of droplet evaporation gas phase models. Predictions of gas phase model are compared in forced convection. The results show that: Predictions are strongly dependent on the choice of gas phase models. Predictions of Ranz model and Haywood model are accurate with the experimental results. Evaporation time which is predicted by the gas phase models considering Stefan flow is longer than those without considering Stefan flow. For different gas phase models, droplet evaporation time is directly proportional to environmental pressure and inversely proportional to ambient temperature and Reynolds number.
