| Research Abstract |
The final objective is to establish of the model to predict the vaporization and ignition characteristics of blended fuel spray at high pressure depending on fuel composition and ambient-gas conditions. In the present study, isolated droplets were studied as an elementary process. Spontaneous ignition of n-decane/ethanol blended fuel droplets in high-temperature and high-pressure air was experimentally observed. Fuel composition, air temperature and pressure were varied, and vaporization rate, ignition delay, flame temperature and flame diameter were obtained as database. Generally, spontaneous ignition was suppressed with increasing ethanol composition, which is more volatile and less reactive. Numerical calculation reproduced the phenomena successfully.
