The complex processes occurring within liquid-fueled chemical combustors utilizing spray injection techniques are basically heterogeneous in nature, involving the vaporization, ignition, combustion, extinction, and motion of an ensemble of droplets which interact with gaseous medium. The present program aims to gain fundamental understanding on the influence of the kinetic and transport processes on heterogeneous, diffusional, combustion in general, and droplet and spray burning in particular. The multicomponent nature of practical fuel blends has also been addressed. A total of twenty journal articles have been prepared summarizing results of the present investigation.
