Abstract
Examining fuel droplet evaporation is crucial for enhancing fuel engine efficiency, conserving energy, and reducing emissions. This study utilizes experimental methods involving ultrasonic standing wave levitation and high-speed cameras to investigate the impact of temperatures and droplet properties, including initial diameter and composition, on the evaporation process. The evaporation behaviors of fuel droplets, like hexadecane and diesel, are documented across a temperature spectrum spanning 150 °C to 550 °C, with an initial droplet equivalent diameter ranging from 0.10 to 0.30 mm. The evaporation rate positively correlates with temperature and may vary by 15% to 71% between hexadecane and diesel droplets.
