Evaporation of water-in-oil microemulsion droplet
Bal Krishan, Preetika Rastogi, D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao +3
Emulsion fuels have the potential to reduce both particulate matter and NOx emissions and can potentially improve the efficiency of combustion engines. However, their limited stabi…
Insights into bubble droplet interactions in evaporating polymeric droplets
Gannena K S Raghuram, Durbar Roy, D Chaitanya Kumar Rao +2
Polymer droplets subjected to a heated environment have significance in several fields ranging from spray drying and powder formation to surface coating. In the present work, we in…
Laser pulse-droplet interaction enables the deformation and fragmentation of droplet array
D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao, Awanish Pratap Singh, Saptarshi Basu
Droplet-droplet interactions is ubiquitous in various applications ranging from medical diagnostics to enhancing and optimizing liquid jet propulsion. We employ an experimental tec…
Universal dissolution dynamics of a confined sessile droplet
Saptarshi Basu, D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao, Ankur Chattopadhyay +1
We experimentally investigate the dissolution of microscale sessile alcohol droplets in water under the influence of impermeable vertical confinement. The introduction of confineme…
Atomization modes for levitating emulsified droplets undergoing phase change
D Chaitanya Kumar Rao, Saptarshi Basu
We delineate and examine the distinct breakup modes of evaporating water-in-oil emulsion droplets under acoustic levitation. The emulsion droplets consist of decane/dodecane/tetrad…
Phenomenology of disruptive breakup mechanism of a levitated evaporating emulsion droplet
D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao, Saptarshi Basu
Atomization of emulsion droplets is ubiquitous across a variety of application domains ranging from NextGen combustors to fabrication of biomedical implants. An understanding of th…
Experimental investigations on nucleation, bubble growth, and micro-explosion characteristics during the combustion of ethanol/Jet A-1 fuel droplets
D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao, S. Syam, Srinibas Karmakar +1
The combustion characteristics of ethanol/Jet A-1 fuel droplets having three different proportions of ethanol (10%, 30%, and 50% by vol.) are investigated in the present study. The…
Puffing and micro-explosion behavior in combustion of butanol/Jet A-1 and acetone-butanol-ethanol (A-B-E)/Jet A-1 fuel droplets
D. Chaitanya Kumar Rao, Srinibas Karmakar, S. K. Som
The present investigation deals with the puffing and micro-explosion characteristics in the combustion of a single droplet comprising butanol/Jet A-1, acetone-butanol-ethanol (A-B-…
