The
accelerated depletion of oil reserves and the often exorbitant cost of fossil
fuels contribute to the development of fuels from renewable sources. The
objective of this work is to analyze the influence of the properties of
renewable fuels on their evaporation in natural convection, their combustion and
their use in internal combustion engines. A summary of the various numerical
and experimental works from the literature has been presented in this work.
This work focuses on the numerical modelling of the natural convection
evaporation of an isolated drop of a liquid fuel in natural convection. The
transfers in the liquid and vapour phases are described by the conservation
equations of mass and species, momentum and
energy. The main feature of this work is the consideration of advection,
azimuthal angle and thickness of the vapour phase of the drop during
evaporation of the drop.
