Evaporation model of a single hydrocarbon fuel droplet due to ambient turbulence at intermediate Reynolds numbers

A general evaporation model of a single liquid fuel droplet under various ambient turbulence conditions at intermediate droplet Reynolds numbers is proposed combining the current and previous experimental results. Extensive evaporation experiments of single fuel droplets are conducted at room temperature in quasi-laminar and turbulent environments at Reynolds numbers in the range of 72–333. Tested hydrocarbon fuels include by pentane, hexane,...
