Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to investigate the effects of pressure and temperature of incoming air into an evaporating chamber on fuel spray evaporation and fuel droplets characteristics. Before that, the influences of secondary break-up and coupling between droplets and gas phase on the present spray modeling are studied. An Eulerian-Lagrangian approach and two-way coupling model are implemented for modeling spray and atomization of liquid fuel in air. The SSTk-ω turbulence model is applied to estimate eddy viscosity, whilst the discrete random walk model is employed to trace the droplets in a turbulent flow. With increasing inlet air temperature from 373 to 573 K, the lifetime and penetration depth of droplets are reduced by about 70% and 46%, respectively. The influence of incoming air pressure on droplets lifetime is not remarkable. The penetration of droplets is reduced by almost 61% while augmenting the air pressure from 1.0 to 10.0 atm.
