AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the vaporization rate of isooctane droplets based on their diameter. A participant mentions difficulty accessing a relevant paper from Harvard University, which only provides an abstract. They share an equation related to the vaporization rate, expressed as m = dm/dt = 2πr, although they struggle with formatting. The conversation highlights the growing interest in this area of research and the need for accessible resources. Further contributions are anticipated to enhance understanding of isooctane's vaporization properties.

Does anyone know how to calculate the vaporization rate of a droplet of isooctane at a given diameter?

Thank you
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Can anyone help please?

The only paper I have found is stored on a harvard university server. They only show the abstract but the paper itself seems inaccessible.
 
This is FAST becoming an area of intense interest, for good reason. I will attempt to find and post helpful information.
 
I have found this equation in a paper describing coductivity properties of isooctane, I hope it will be helpful. m= dm/dt = 2 pi r . not being able to use scientific notation with this keyboard , lower case d is inserted wth mass and again with radius in the equasion.The best i could do was to show it as m/d , and i believe that would make it too
difficult to understand. this equation was used to obtain vaporization rate of isooctane
at given diameter of droplets.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
