Abstract
Biomass oil is increasingly recognized as a sustainable energy resource due to its low net carbon emissions, high energy density, and renewable properties. In the process of its atomization during combustion, oil droplet impact on heated wall is crucial. However, understanding the mixed fuel droplet impact on heated walls and splashing behavior remains insufficient. This study experimentally investigated the splashing behavior of a gasoline-camellia oil (GCO) droplet impacting its thin film on a heated wall, focusing on the crown evolution and its transition regimes to splashing. Its morphologies along with spreading velocities are characterized by considering the effects of Weber number (We), Ohnesorge number (Oh) and wall temperature. The transition regimes of crown morphology are further characterized in three typical diagrams. The results show that diameter evolution of the crown exhibits two patterns depending on its rupture, whereas its height evolution shows three distinct scenarios. A concise prediction correlation for spreading velocity was derived using a multiple power law function involving We and Oh. Morphology transition of the crown exhibits five typical patterns with distinct regular distribution in their respective diagrams, signifying the critical transition thresholds between them. These results provide a morphological basis for further investigation into the heat and mass transfer mechanisms involved in the process, thereby facilitating the effective utilization of biomass oil as a substitute for gasoline.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
