Report presents theoretical model of evaporation of cluster of drops of single-component liquid fuel in and of processes of exchange between cluster and gas surrounding it. Formulation of model has three components: description of conservation of mass, molecular species, and enthalpy in sphere of influence of each drop; description of conservation of mass, molecular species, and enthalpy in cluster volume; description of convective effects by use of differential equations expressing conservation of momentum for gases and drops. Results obtained from analysis show turbulence enhances evaporation and controlling factor in evaporation of very dense clusters. Practical implication of findings evaporation of fuel controlled more readily near fuel injector than farther along combustor.
