Abstract
The model for sphericosymmetric thin-flame combustion of a multicomponent f uel droplet in a dilute spray using a unit cell approach, developed in the companion paper, has been used for studying the interaction effect between droplets. The effects of droplet spacing, ambient oxidizer concentration, a mbient temperature and pressure have been considered. Droplet life increase s with decrease in droplet spacing, ambient temperature and ambient oxidize r concentration. However, droplet life has a weak dependence on ambient pre ssure.
