Abstract: The gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel, a liquid fuel synthesized from natural gas through Fischer–Tropsch process, exhibits better combustion and, in turn, lower emission characteristics than the conventional jet fuels. However, ...

Abstract: Near-wall fluid velocimetry in the impingement zone of a microdroplet stream on a flat surface is reported utilizing microparticle tracking velocimetry (μPTV). The results are then compared with the near-wall fluid velocimetry ...

Abstract: The influence of nanoparticles' dispersion on the physical properties of aviation fuel and its spray performance has been investigated in this work. To this end, the conventional Jet A-1 aviation fuel and its mixtures with ...

Abstract: Finding alternative refrigerants is of extreme importance to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. Among the next-generation refrigerants, hydrocarbons (HCs) are of technical interest because they are natural, efficient, ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of dropletinduced crown propagation regimes (spreading and splashing) on liquid film hydrodynamics and heat transfer. In this work, the effects of high frequency ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the hydrodynamics and heat transfer phenomena due to high frequency droplet train impingement on a prewetted solid surface for electronic cooling applications. The effects of ...

Abstract: Formation of dryout area could lead to a sharp increase in surface temperature during droplet impingement cooling. The objective of this study is to figure out an effective way of suppressing dryout formation in droplet ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to visualize the droplet-induced crown splashing dynamics at high spatial and temporal resolutions. In this work, the effects of droplet train impingement on crown splashing dynamics were ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to visualize and simulate the thermal physical process during double droplet train impingement for three different horizontal impact spacings (S = 0.65 mm, 1.2 mm and 2 mm). Two identical ...

Abstract: This experimental research examined the effect of CO2 as a diluent on the laminar burning speed of propane–air mixtures. Combustion took place at various CO2 concentrations (0–80%), different equivalence ratios (0.7<ϕ<1.2) ...
