Abstract
The chapter begins with an overview of early developments of the models for multicomponent droplet heating and evaporation. Then recently developed models for bicomponent droplet heating and evaporation, based on the analytical solution to the equation for species diffusion inside liquid droplets, are discussed. These models are generalised to the case that more than two components are present in liquid droplets (biodiesel fuel droplets). The original analytical solution to the species diffusion equation was obtained under the assumption that droplet radius is constant; it was generalised to the case that the droplet radius is a linear function of time during each individual time step. A recently developed quasidiscrete model, suitable for modelling heating and evaporation of droplets consisting of a large number of components, is described and applied to the analysis of Diesel and gasoline fuel droplets.
