The prediction of accurate evaporation rates for aviation fuels, which are complex mixtures of hundreds of hydrocarbon components with varying evaporation characteristics, remains a challenge. Multi-component vaporization models, such as distillation curve (DC) and diffusion limit (DL), are capable of predicting evaporation rates well but require the construction of surrogate fuels, which is difficult. Mono-component models, on the other hand, can be used for rapid evaporation conditions similar to those in a heat engine combustion chamber, with acceptable uncertainties. However, the accuracy of these models under engine-relevant operating conditions is unclear. This study aims to address this research gap by experimentally measuring the evaporation rates of two aviation fuels (TS-1 and Jet-A1) at different temperature conditions and evaluating the feasibility of current theoretical models for predicting evaporation rates under engine-relevant conditions. The study found that current models cannot accurately describe special events such as micro-explosions or slow evaporation, which were observed in the case of TS-1 droplets at temperatures above 823 K. This study highlights the need for more accurate models for predicting the evaporation rates of aviation fuels under engine-relevant conditions.
