A FUNDAMENTAL investigation is in progress at the National Gas Turbine Establishment of the mechanism of the combustion of droplets in a fuel spray In particular, the factors influencing the rate of burning, that is, the rate of evaporation of the burning drops, are being investigated This preliminary note summarizes briefly some of the main results obtained to date, which are to be reported in full elsewhereread more

Combustion of droplets of liquid fuels: A review
TL;DR: A review of recent developments of the combustion of single droplets with the object of stimulating discussion and future work in the field is presented in this paper, where the main areas covered are combustion of stationary and moving droplets in an oxidising atmosphere, combustion of monopropellants, the influence of high pressures and the ignition of droplets.

Fundamentals of oil combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the fundamentals of oil combustion and the nature of spray combustion of fuel oil, and the way in which the fuel spray and the combustion air are mixed is crucial in determining the way the overall combustion proceeds.

A comparison of the spherical flame characteristics of sub-millimeter droplets of binary mixtures of n-heptane/iso-octane and n-heptane/toluene with a commercial unleaded gasoline
Yu Cheng Liu,C. Thomas Avedisian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the burning characteristics of binary blends of iso-octane, n -heptane and toluene were studied in an ambience that minimizes external convection and promotes spherical droplet flames.

XV. The influence of spray particle size and distribution in the combustion of oil droplets
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of size and distribution on the evaporation of liquid sprays is examined theoretically using the known law of size distribution in a spray and an experimental law concerning the effects of size on the volumetric evapsoration of singie droplets.

The Fuel Problem in Gas Turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the range of possible liquid fuels and the fuel characteristics of greatest practical significance, and discuss the influence of these properties on the combustion process under the two main heads, fuel injection and stabilization of flame, and the burning of the droplets after ignition.
