A molecular dynamics study of fuel droplet evaporation in sub- and supercritical conditions

Evaporation processes of a fuel droplet under sub- and supercritical ambient conditions have been studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Suspended n-dodecane droplets of various initial diameters evaporating into a nitrogen environment are considered. Both ambient pressure and temperature are varied from sub- to supercritical values, crossing the critical condition of the chosen fuel. Temporal variation in the droplet diameter is obtained and the droplet lifetime is recorded. The time at which supercritical transition happens is determined by calculating the temperature and concentration distributions of the system and comparing with the critical mixing point of the n-dodecane/nitrogen binary system. The dependence of evaporation characteristics on ambient conditions and droplet size is quantified. It is found that the droplet lifetime decreases with increasing ambient pressure and/or temperature. Supercritical transition time decreases with increasing ambient pressure and temperature as well. The droplet heat-up time as well as subcritical to supercritical transition time increases linearly with the initial droplet size d₀, while the droplet lifetime increases linearly with ${\mathrm{d}}_0^2$. A regime diagram is obtained, which indicates the subcritical and supercritical regions as a function of ambient temperature and pressure as well as the initial droplet size.     

Simultaneous establishing of stationary growth rate and composition of supercritical droplets at isothermal binary condensation in the diffusion-controlled regime

General integral relations expressing the droplet radius and time of the droplet nonstationary growth as nonlinear functions of solution concentration in the droplet have been derived. These relations are valid for a supercritical droplet (i.e., sufficiently large droplet, for which the Laplace pressure effect on the concentration at saturation of vapors is negligible) isothermally growing via stationary diffusion in the mixture of two condensing vapors and an incondensable carrier gas. The initial composition in the droplet may be arbitrary and partial molecular volumes of components are not fixed. Explicit analytical relations have been found for droplet composition and the droplet size as functions of time at small deviations from the stationary concentration in the growing droplet. These relations show that the assumption of the steady droplet growth rate is not valid for non-small deviations from the stationary concentration. Some illustrations of the general nonlinear theory have been done in situation when solution in the droplet can be considered ideal.     

The explosion of a spherical drop under the action of laser radiation

The existence of an explosive cycle is proposed for the action of laser radiation on a water droplet, when the droplet during the time of action of the pulse is converted to supercritical steam with unchanged density. A calculation is carried out of the gas-dynamic parameters of the expanding explosion products. An estimate is made of the change of optical attenuation cross section of the expanding steam.     

IMPINGING JET ATOMIZATION AT ELEVATED AND SUPERCRITICAL AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS

A study of a spray formed by a pair of liquid nitrogen jets impinging on one another at elevated up to above-critical ambient temperature and pressure conditions has been conducted using double-pulse, two-reference-beam holography and high-speed photography. Qualitative observations as well as quantitative measurements on droplet size distribution and its dependence on pressure and temperature were obtained. Droplet size measurements showed that, at subcritical conditions, the increase of the ambient pressure initially makes the atomization quality deteriorate. Further increase in pressure (above 50% of the critical pressure) improves the atomization quality. The spray pattern changed drastically as the ambient pressure approached and exceeded the critical pressure in an environment already at supercritrical temperature. At supercritical ambient conditions, the usual mechanisms of droplet formation are no longer in place. The liquid nitrogen spray undergoes a mixing process with the nitrogen environment.     

Numerical investigation of acoustic vaporization threshold of microdroplets

A numerical model is presented for the acoustic vaporization threshold of a dodecafluoropentane (or perfluoropentane) microdroplet. The model is based on the Rayleigh-Plesset equation and is improved by properly treating the supercritical state that occurs when a bubble collapses rapidly and by employing the van der Waals equation of state to consider the supercritical state. The present computations demonstrate that the microdroplet vaporization behavior depends intricately on bubble compressibility, liquid inertia and phase-change heat transfer under acoustic excitation conditions. We present acoustic pressure-frequency diagrams for bubble growth regimes and the ADV threshold conditions. The effects of acoustic parameters, fluid properties and the droplet radius on the ADV threshold are investigated.     

Metropolis Dynamics Relaxation via Nucleation and Growth

We consider the Ising model with Metropolis dynamics on under a small positive external field h. We show that the relaxation time, i.e., the time it takes for the system to reach the (+)-phase starting from all spins -1, scales as as the temperature , where and is the energy of a “critical” droplet. The factor originates from droplet growth and is related to the dimension of the lattice, while the term (2-h) is related to the rate of growth of highly supercritical droplets.

Pressure-coupled vaporization response of n-pentane fuel droplet at subcritical and supercritical conditions

The dynamic response of a liquid fuel droplet to externally impressed pressure oscillations is studied comprehensively over a wide range of mean pressures. Both subcritical and supercritical conditions are considered. The formulation treats a complete set of conservation equations and incorporates real fluid thermodynamics and transport theories. As a specific example, the situation with isolated n-pentane droplets in nitrogen is studied at various forcing frequencies. Results are correlated with the liquid thermal inertial time, instantaneous droplet radius, and oscillation frequency. The magnitude of the vaporization response increases with increasing pressure, mainly due to the decreased enthalpy of vaporization at high pressures. The increased sensitivity of droplet thermophysical properties to ambient flow variations at high pressures also plays a role. The phase angle of the vaporization response function, however, appears to be independent of the ambient pressure. An abrupt increase in the response function takes place when the droplet surface reaches its critical mixing state. A major factor contributing to this phenomenon is the abnormal variations of fluid thermophysical properties near the critical mixing point.     

Observation of droplet motion during flame spread on three-fuel-droplet array with a pendulum suspender

Flame spread on a fuel droplet array has been studied as a simple model of spray combustion. A three-fuel-droplet array with a pendulum suspender was employed to investigate interactions between flame spread and droplet motion in the axial direction. Initial droplet diameter was 0.8 mm, and fuel was n-heptane. A silicon carbide pendulum suspender of 15 μm in diameter and 30 mm in length was used for the third droplet. The first fixed droplet was ignited by electric spark. Behavior of the flame and the third droplet was observed using a high-speed video camera with an image intensifier. Particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) measurements were performed to explain the behavior of the third movable droplet. The dimensionless droplet span, which is the average of droplet-to-droplet distances divided by the average initial diameter of the three droplets, was varied from 2.5 to 8 for observing flame spread, and fixed at 5.5 for PTV measurements. It was observed that the third droplet moved away from the second droplet before the flame spread to the third droplet. The displacement of the third droplet is remarkable when the dimensionless droplet span is close to the limit of flame spread. This implies that the movement of the droplet decreases the dimensionless span of the flame spread limit and the flame spread speed near the flame spread limit. Results of PTV measurements suggest that the heat expansion wave, caused by ignition of the premixture which was accumulated around the second droplet, and the burned gas flow from the second droplet pushed away the third droplet; then natural convection, induced by the flames of the first and second droplets, drew the third droplet to the second droplet. The heat expansion wave and the burned gas flow of the second droplet reached nearly 12 in dimensionless span.
