Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of prediction methods, and in particular relates to a rapid prediction method and system for evaporation under high-temperature turbulent conditions of droplets. Background Technology

[0002] The primary chemical reaction inside an internal combustion engine is combustion. When liquid fuel enters the combustion chamber, it undergoes atomization into single droplets, evaporation, and then combustion to release heat. The atomization effect of the fuel droplets within the combustion chamber directly affects thermal efficiency and fuel economy. Due to the multiphase flow characteristics of the spray and the complexity of the internal environment of the combustion chamber, practical research on liquid fuel atomization is very difficult. The multiphase flow of the spray can be considered as a coupling of the multiphase flow characteristics of multiple single droplets. n-Dodecane has advantages such as chemical stability, moderate volatility, and good solubility, and is often used as a standard compound in experimental research. The main flow field inside the combustion chamber is a turbulent field. Different turbulence intensities and ambient temperatures have a significant impact on the evaporation characteristics of n-dodecane droplets. Therefore, studying the evaporation behavior of n-dodecane single droplets under turbulent conditions is of significant importance for improving the combustion reaction inside an internal combustion engine.
