摘要
Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) is a cost-effective alternative to traditional fossil fuels and can be blended with diesel fuel to form a stable and homogeneous solution. In this study, the evaporation behavior of single droplets of different concentrations of ABE blended with diesel fuel was experimentally investigated. As a result, three different evaporation modes were found: steady, jet and micro-explosion. The addition of ABE accelerates the stable evaporation rate of diesel droplets, thereby shortening their lifespan. In jet evaporation mode, every 20 % increase in ABE concentration postpones oil film formation time by at least 10% and increases droplet volume change in fluctuating stage by 5 %. Elevated temperatures and light component concentrations enhance droplet ejection and reduce droplet lifespan. Micro-explosion evaporation is characterized by rapid droplet volume expansion several times, distinct from jet evaporation. At an ABE concentration of 50 %, the likelihood of micro-explosion increases. Following micro-explosion, the droplet diameter is instantaneously reduced by at least 70 %, and its lifetime is significantly shortened. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
