A tabulated chemistry approach for numerical modeling of diesel spray evaporation in a “stabilized cool flame” environment

Droplet evaporation in a “stabilized cool flame” environment leads to a homogeneous, heated air–fuel vapor mixture that can be subsequently either burnt or utilized in fuel-reforming applications for fuel cell systems . The paper investigates the locally occurring physico-chemical phenomena in an atmospheric pressure, diesel spray, stabilized cool flame reactor, utilizing a tabulated chemistry approach in conjunction with a two-phase,...
