Mixture Fraction can only be calculated based on gaseous species, so Mixture Fraction by definition excludes any fuel that is still tied up in the droplets. Ignoring the presence of the fuel droplets produces no error in the flamelet\/flamespeed calculations. Liquid fuel never burns directly. It always has to go through the heating-evaporation process before any combustion can occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-161882","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4391","topic-tag-combustion","topic-tag-flamelet-models","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-species-reactions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
