Abstract
Multicomponent fuel droplets are common in everyday life. Gasoline, diesel, kerosen, jet fuel and stable mixtures of pure-substance fuels are obvious examples. Moreover, blends of alcohols and petroleum distillates were looked upon as promising alternate fuels as a result of the energy crises of 1973 and 1979. Because the greatest problem associated with using alcohols as alternate fuels i-ri-heLerogeneous combustion systems comes from their considerably large latent heat of vaporization and their poor cetane number, an apparent solution was to
mix alcohols with conventional fuels. The resulting
multicomponent fuel droplets would have shorter lifetimes
and Higher cetane numbers as compared to pure alcohols.
In chapter one and two a literature review is-made revealing that studies are required to fully understand the evaporation characteristics of alcohols, and
alcohol-conventional fuel mixtures. Moreover, the history of single-component fuel droplet was found to be crudely estimated using the d2-law which assumes that the relation between the droplet surface area and evaDoratioi time is linear. All evaporation constants determined in
