Pressure and puffing behavior in ethanol gel droplet combustion

What is it about?

The work is about the Gel Fuel Droplet Combustion. The role of the internal pressure built up in controlling the combustion.

Why is it important?

This demonstrates that the internal puffing phenomenon plays a vital role in governing the gel droplet combustion. Also, the explosion behaviour is seen as the result of the internal stress experienced by the shear-thinning droplet. While exceeding the critical yield stress value, the droplet fragments.
