Modeling of Multi-Component Fuel Vaporization for Spray Simulations Using Continuous Thermodynamics
A preliminary study on drop-bubble dynamics and instability with Marangoni effects is also given. This issue is motivated by its potential application for improving air-fuel mixing and understanding the possible drop-bubble breakup mechanism.

Auto-Ignition of Liquid n-Paraffin Fuels Mixtures as Single Droplets Using Continuous Thermodynamics
… of n-paraffin fuel mixtures using the method of continuous thermodynamics. The model uses experimental data for pure fuels to fit rate parameters for a single-step global chemical reaction equation; from this, correlations for rate parameters as a function of species molecular mass are derived, …

A Numerical Study of the Multi-Component Effects on the Combustion and Evaporation of Biofuels and Blends
… physical process is developed in this study. The continuous thermodynamics formulation is used, for which the fuel (or liquid mixture) is described using a probability distribution function. The variation of composition in both liquid and vapor phases is represented by tracing the changes of the …

A numerical study of the multi-component effects on the combustion and evaporation of biofuels and blends
… a new droplet evaporation model using the continuous thermodynamics formulation, which is capable in accommodating multiple distribution functions, accounts for preferential evaporation, finite diffusion and surface regression of the droplet; 4) to demonstrate the applicability of the …
