Abstract
An experimental study was carried out to make a quantitative analysis of fuel droplet diameter at a high pressure and temperature occurring in combustion systems. A fueling system was developed to atomize fuel into droplets having a single small diameter. By using this system, fueling was made into a visualized device where high pressure and temperature nitrogen flew under steady-state conditions. The laser induced fluorescence method was utilized to determine the n-dodecane fuel and iso-octane fuel droplet behavior and the phase doppler particle analyzer to measure the diameter and velocity of the droplets. As a result, quantitative analysis of a fuel droplet got possible. The results indicate that due to its lower boiling point, iso-octane droplets tend to evaporate much faster then dodecane droplerts.
