Evaluation of a locally homogeneous flow model of spray combustion

Combustion of Agglomerates Formed by Carbon Slurry Fuels.

“…Nu' and Sh' are the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers of smooth spheres found similar to past work on drop transport properties [14][15][16]23].…”

The unsteady-state energy conservation equation for a small spherical particle in LII modeling

“…This particle energy equation, (23), is also consistent with that used by most researchers in the combustion field for studying small carbon particle or droplet combustion, e.g. [22,23].…”

“…The physical significance of this cancellation is clear: removal of mass from the particle without phase change reduces the total particle internal energy, but should not change the internal energy per unit mass, i.e., the particle temperature. Upon using ∂u/∂t = ∂u/∂T dT/ dt = c p dT/ dt, (22) can now be written as…”

Advanced models of fuel droplet heating and evaporation

“…(102) is used with fZ1/Le (see, e.g. [170][171][172]), which cannot be justified unless c pv Zc pg . This difference in the presentation of these equations can be traced to the form of energy conservation Eq.…”
