| Summary: | Title screen Micro-explosive fragmentation of droplets significantly increases the liquid surface area through brief superheating of multi-component interfaces until they reach a metastable state. Water is commonly used as the primary component of heterogeneous droplets to enhance their secondary atomization. Since its boiling point is lower than that of combustible liquids, it requires less time to reach a metastable state. However, water is undesirable in fuel and oil systems, as it reduces the overall calorific value of the fuel blend. Therefore, its application as a component of fuels and lubricants is limited. It is essential to replace water with an alternative component capable of enhancing micro-explosive fragmentation of multi-component droplets. This research presents the results of addressing this challenge. Based on a multi-criteria analysis, low-boiling organic liquids (ethanol, methanol, acetone, acetic acid, dichloromethane) and their aqueous solutions were selected as potential alternatives. Aviation kerosene was used as a combustible component. The study identifies relationships between the temporal characteristics of droplet breakup and such factors as droplet size, heating rates, concentration and type of components. The lifetime of droplets experiencing micro-explosive fragmentation was compared to that of droplets without it. Fragmentation regime maps were developed using dimensionless mathematical processing Текстовый файл AM_Agreement |
