“…The evaporation process of a drop composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons can be divided into three fields for modelling mass and heat transfer (Prommersberger et al, 1999, Aggarwal andPeng, 1994). The most fully developed approaches (model DLM, Diffusion Limit Model) take account of the heterogeneous temperature field in the droplet, of the influence of the drop and the multi-component composition of the hydrocarbon (Hallmann et al, 1995, Li, 1995. Certain models treat drop heating and vaporization simultaneously, while others assume that the droplet warms up initially without evaporating, and that when it reaches a sufficient temperature, it vaporizes (Schmehl et al, 1999).…”
