Recent developments in modelling the heating and evaporation of fuel droplets are
reviewed, and unsolved problems are identified. It is noted that modelling transient droplet …

Fuel consumption and energy efficiency are still of great interest in combustion engineering
and science. This state-of-the-art review revisits the fuel droplet heating and evaporation in …

The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the
beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing …

A new approach to modelling puffing and micro-explosion in composite water/fuel droplets is
proposed. This approach is based on the assumption previously made that a spherical water …

A simplified model for bi-component droplet heating and evaporation is developed and
applied for the analysis of the observed average droplet temperatures in a monodisperse …

The earlier reported simplified model for multi-component droplet heating and evaporation is
generalised to take into account the coupling between droplets and the ambient gas. The …

The results of comparative analysis of liquid and gas phase models for fuel droplets heating
and evaporation, suitable for implementation into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

Biodiesel fuel droplet heating and evaporation is investigated using the previously
developed models, taking into account temperature gradient, recirculation, and species …

The 'extended'and 'effective-conductivity'droplet vaporization models developed by
Abramzon and Sirignano [Abramzon B, Sirignano WA. Droplet vaporization model for spray …

The effect of the temperature gradient inside fuel droplets on droplet evaporation, break-up
and the ignition of fuel vapour/air mixture is investigated based on a zero-dimensional code …
