Descripción
Sumario:[EN] In this paper, the assessment of puffing and micro-explosion occurrence in emulsion drops with different water percentage is studied. The emulsified fuels are formulated using micro channel emulsifier, rapeseed oil and diesel fuel as continuous phase, as well as water and Sorbitan Sesquioleate as surfactant. The formulated dispersed systems are covered under different experimental factors such as water ratio and surfactant percentage. The puffing occurrence is reported in all emulsified fuels tested (i.e. with and without surfactant). A sudden puffing and highest number of occurrence is noted when the water amount increases in all emulsified fuels. The micro-explosion phenomenon is only noted in emulsified fuel formulated without surfactant.
