This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the effect of droplet size on the fuel vaporization process in a turbulent atmosphere at standard ambient conditions. Single droplets of n-heptane and n-decane are formed and evaporated at the intersection point of two micro-fibers placed in the center of a fan-stirred spherical vessel which is maintained at room temperature and pressure. The droplet initial diameter varies in the range between 145 and 730 pm. A controlled isotropic and homogeneous turbulent flow field with nearly zero mean velocity and intensity ranging between 0.25 and 1.5 m/s is generated inside the vessel by means of eight axial fans. The results indicate that the droplet normalized squared diameter varies quasi-linearly with time, suggesting the applicability of the d(2) law at all examined conditions. More importantly, the results reveal that the droplet initial diameter becomes a significant contributing factor in determining the evaporation rate in a turbulent environment, as the rate of vaporization is found to increase with both turbulent intensity and droplet size. However, droplet size produces no effect on the vaporization rate in quiescent (no flow) surroundings. The results also emphasize that as the ratio of the Kolmogorov length scale over droplet initial diameter approaches unity, the effect of turbulence becomes negligible, illustrating the importance of the small-scale eddies, and their relation to droplet size, in the transport/transfer of mass. The coupled effect of droplet size and turbulence on the vaporization rate is correlated in terms of either a turbulent Reynolds number or a vaporization Damkohler number.
