摘要：

A mathematical model of the combustion of a droplet surrounded by hot gas with a uniform free stream motion is made from the numerical solution of conservation equations of heat, mass and momentum in both the carrier and the droplet phases. The gas-phase chemical reaction between the fuel vapour and the oxidizer is assumed to be single-step and irreversible. The phenomenon of ignition is recognised by the sudden rise of temperature in the temperature/time histories at different locations in the carrier phase. To ascertain the process irreversibilities, the instantaneous rate of entropy production and its variation with time have been determined from the simultaneous numerical solution of the entropy conservation equations for both the gas and liquid phases. The relative influences of pertinent input parameters, namely the initial Reynolds number Re(i), the ratio of the free stream to initial temperature T(infinity) and the ambient pressure on (i) the local and average Nusselt numbers, (ii) the life histories of burning fuel drops, and (iii) the entropy generation rate in the process of droplet combustion have been established.
