Abstract
We formulated and experimentally proved a hypothesis on the causes of dispersion (puffing and microexplosion) of binary fuel droplets, including those in the composition of gel fuels. This hypothesis is based on the concepts of wetting thermodynamics and the theory of the two-component surface energy of substances and materials. An effective and reliable criterion was established that allowed the assessment of the possibility of the onset of puffing and microexplosion during the high-temperature heating of binary liquids. Microexplosions were found to occur only when isothermal conditions were necessarily reached at the liquid–liquid interface during the mixing of mutually insoluble components, provided that one component had to be polar, and the second had to be dispersive. In addition, it was necessary to provide external heating conditions under which the value of the surface free energy of the liquid–liquid interface formation tended to zero.
