- Optimising the efficiency of liquid fuels requires deep understanding and accurate measurements of the physics involved in droplet heating and evaporation. This paper is significant because it proposes a new approach, based on Generalized Lorenz-Mie Theories, that can measure the evaporation rate of fuel droplets with nanoscale resolution. This collaborative research provides some of the most accurate droplet evaporation rate measurements, which support the validation of high-accuracy numerical models. These findings are a key outcome of EPSRC projects EP/M009424/1 and EP/K020528/1 and underpinned a REF2021 Impact Case Study [ICS_bp].
