VAPORIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF ETHANOL AND 1-PROPANOL DROPLETS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES
2012
International audience; A detailed description of the vaporization of an isolated droplet has been carried out in this experimental study aimed at investigating ethanol and another aliphatic alcohol, 1-propanol. The characterization of the vaporization phenomenon is necessary for this liquid fuel to develop efficient design of injection systems for propulsion and power generation. Particularly, the vaporization rates and their dependency on temperature, important features for modeling and design, are explored for both ethanol and 1-propanol at intermediate to high temperatures. The experimental setup consists of a pressure chamber in which the furnace, the droplet formation, the droplet sup…
