An experimental facility has been developed to study the effects of turbulence on droplet vaporization. The facility allows to generate a zero mean velocity, isotropic and homogeneous turbulence and to vary systematically the turbulence kinetic energy. The influence of turbulence on suspended single droplets of five n-alkane hydrocarbons is investigated, by determining the average vaporization rates by image analysis techniques. The experiments have been conducted under normal pressure and temperature conditions; for all cases, the length scales of energetic turbulence eddies are larger than the initial droplet diameter. For all the investigated cases, it is found that the presence of turbulent velocity fluctuations increases the average vaporization rates compared to the stagnant case. The linear regression rate of the projected droplet surface area versus time is observed under all turbulence conditions. It is observed that droplets of the five investigated fuels respond differently to the same turbulence structure. A given turbulent kinetic energy enhances more strongly the average vaporization rates-of lowest volatility fuels. Also, for each fuel, the normalized vaporization rate tends towards a plateau behavior for increasing turbulence kinetic energy. The experimental information collected in this study has been used to suggest a phenomenological model For the turbulence effects on monocomponent droplet vaporization. The model explains this effect in terms of the ratio between a turbulence diffusivity and the molecular diffusivity of the fuel vapor.
