The influence of pressure on the evaporation dynamics of a drop of fuel
Abstract
Features of the phase transitions in the 'supercritical' region are considered for liquid fuel. The intensification that has been detected in the evaporation of a drop with an increase in the pressure of the surrounding gas is explained in physical terms. Analytic relationships characterizing the dynamics of drop evaporation are verified using extensive experimental data. In addition, the applicability of the quasi-equilibrium diffusion theory to the supercritical evaporation of fuel is corroborated.
