Pilot test and theoretical analysis of evaporation of one and more component fuels

Abstract

The evaporation rate of different liquids was measured by exposing small droplets to an intensive radiative heat load. Several liquids were used namely water, 1-, 2-butanol, 1-, 2-propanol, isobutanol and rape seed oil. A mixture of alcohol and rape seed oil (20/80 vol%) was also analysed. The sample results show the evaporation of different fractions of liquid for different wall temperatures and a constant counter flow of nitrogen.
