Abstract / Description of output
Inclusion of metal/metalloid particles in conventional hydrocarbon fuels has unearthed the possibilities of nexgen energetic fuels. Recent research stride on nanofuel (Base Fuel + Nanoparticles) combustion has shown a unique pathway of droplet secondary atomisation, stemming from heterogeneous boiling. Presence of nanoparticles (NPs) aids internal ebullition in nanofuel droplets. Rupture and expulsion of the bubbles generate high-speed ligaments which further undergo tip break-up. The resulting daughter droplets enhances the mass transfer rate. For instance, during combustion they act as a fuel parcels from droplet surface to the flame envelope.
