A study of thin-flame quasisteady sphericosymmetric combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets. Part I: Modelling for droplet surface regression and non-unity gas-phase Lewis number
A model for sphericosymmetric thin-flame combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets has been developed in the first part of this two-part work. The model incorporates effects of droplet surface regression and gas-phase Lewis number. It is observed that both these effects affect the results substantially. The study also reveals the transient nature of the combustion process.
