Experimental study on effect of support fiber on fuel droplet vaporization at high temperatures

The effect of support fiber on fuel droplet vaporization is experimentally investigated in a stagnant high-temperature environment (673–973 K) using high-speed backlit imaging technique. Droplets with nearly identical initial diameter suspended on the different support fibers, thus the effect of support fiber on droplet vaporization due to different initial droplet diameter is removed. The fiber diameters are 0.08, 0.1 and 0.15 mm, and thermal...
