Experimental investigation of the effect of droplet size on the vaporization process in ambient turbulence

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the effect of droplet size on the fuel vaporization process in a turbulent atmosphere at standard ambient conditions. Single droplets of n-heptane and n-decane are formed and evaporated at the intersection point of two micro-fibers placed in the center of a fan-stirred spherical vessel which is maintained at room temperature and pressure. The droplet initial diameter varies in...
