TLDR
In this paper, the influence of initial diameter on the combustion of single drops in the size range 150 to 2 000μ has been measured and the results indicate that the burning rate of drops in sprays will be about 25 per cent less than the values predicted from studies of large single drops.About:

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.

Combustion of free fuel droplets in a freely falling chamber
S. Kumagai,T. Sakai,S. Okajima +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have developed a successful technique for achieving spherical spherical combustion of free fuel droplets under a zero-gravity condition in a freely falling chamber, where the behavior of free droplets burning spherically was photographed with a movie camera and analyzed to determine the true characteristics of fuel-droplet combustion.

Inverse influence of initial diameter on droplet burning rate in cold and hot ambiences: a thermal action of flame in balance with heat loss
Guangwen Xu,Masiki Ikegami,Senji Honma,Kouji Ikeda,Xiaoxun Ma,Hiroshi Nagaishi,Daniel L. Dietrich,Peter M. Struk +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, isolated droplet burning was conducted in microgravity ambiences of different temperatures to test the initial diameter influence on the burning rate that represents an overall thermal action of flame in balance with heat loss.

On the burning of single drops of fuel in a oxidizing atmosphere
M. Goldsmith,S. S. Penner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of forced convection on the burning of single, isolated drops of fuel in a quiescent oxidizing atmosphere and found substantial agreement between the results of the diffusion theory and experimental data.
