The role of pole and molecular geometry of fatty acids in vegetable oils droplet on ignition and boiling characteristics

Vegetable oils consist of glycerol and three variants of fatty acid. Each fatty acid gives different influence on ignition process which is important to be studied. Generally, fatty acids are categorized into polar and nonpolar fatty acids. Both of them have straight and bent molecule geometry. Their roles on evaporation and ignition are discussed based on their polarity and geometry. The study was done with a single droplet from various...
