Hot Surface Ignition of A Composite Fuel Droplet

摘要

The present study examines the characteristics of conductive heating (up to ignition temperature) of a composite fuel droplet based on coal, liquid petroleum products, and water. In this paper, we have established the difference between heat transfer from a heat source to a fuel droplet in case of conductive (hot surface) and convective (hot gas) heat supply. The Leidenfrost effect influences on heat transfer characteristics significantly due to the gas gap between a composite fuel droplet and a hot surface.
