Combustion and Micro-Explosion of Water/Oil Emulsions in High Pressure Environments.

Abstract

During the reporting period we have accomplished all the objectives as stated in the proposal on gaining fundamental understanding in the combustion and mirco-explosion properties of droplets of water/oil emulsions and miscible multicomponent fuel blends. Specifically, the gasification mechanisms of these multicomponent droplets have been umambiguously identified, the relative importance of the various physical and chemical factors influencing soot formation in droplet burning have been systematically assessed, and the ignition limits of fuel droplets vaporizing over a hot plate have been determined. Highlights of the specific accomplishments are separately summarized. Keywords: Spray combustion, Internal combustion engines, and Alcohol fuels.
