Abstract
The liquid fuel evaporation has been studied by many authors. In this article, liquid fuel is mixed with a pre-heated air to be fully evaporated. Parameters as equivalence ratio, inlet temperature and residence time of the fuel drop were verified. Ethanol was used to preliminary results. Different ratio equivalences were tested with different inlet temperatures to verify its evaporation, increasing the air heater power to get full evaporation. It was possible to verify visually and graphically the evaporation of the fuel. Also, the capacity of the system to supply heat to air and fuel flow was verified, in order to future tests with another liquid fuels.
