Atomization of Bio-Fossil Fuel Blends http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.73180 77


To conclude, the B5 fuel droplet lifetimes for all 22 types of biodiesel fuels used in this study are almost identical to the one predicted for PD fuel; i.e. diesel fuel can be possibly blended with up to 5% biodiesel fuel without any noticeable effect on the evolutions of their droplet radii or surface temperatures. Similarly, the E5 and E20 fuel droplet lifetimes are almost identical to the one predicted for E0 fuel; i.e. gasoline fuel can be possibly blended with up to 20% ethanol fuel without/minimal modifications to the gasoline engine. Also, increasing the ambient pressure, or temperature, will lead to a faster evaporation of E0-E100 droplets regardless
