Numerical modeling of a fuel droplet for the evaluation of ignition temperature considering transport properties

An analytical method is proposed to estimate the ignition time of the fuel droplet injected in to the combustion chamber of an I.C. engine. The first phase of analysis related to the case of thermal conservation to raise its temperature up to the ignition temperature with non-vaporization from its s...
