Abstract
Using a validated finite element code, the transport phenomena and transient dynamics of three vaporizing n-hexane fuel droplets have been analyzed for an initial droplet Reynold number of Re2 — 100 and different initial droplet temperatures, ambient temperatures, and droplet spacings. Of interest are the effects of these initial conditions, in conjunction with the influence of variable fluid properties, on the interfacial transfer processes, basic integral quantities, and dense spray parameters. Trajectories of vaporizing droplets are then compared with those of solid spheres, and critical parameters of imminent particle collision or separation are discussed.Keywords
