In view of the unavoidable influence of some water residues on the evaporative combustion of aviation kerosene in the production and transportation process of aviation kerosene, the high-temperature evaporation characteristics of water-mixed emulsified aviation kerosene with 1% mass fraction were tested by using a single-droplet droplet evaporation test system. Evaporation visualization tests were carried out at ambient temperatures of 473, 573 and 673 K respectively, which provided a reference for the subsequent discussion of the optimal water ratio and high-value utilization of fuel. The results show that: there are significant micro-explosion characteristics in the evaporation process of water-mixed emulsified aviation kerosene droplets, the evaporation life is reduced by 42.7%, and the droplet life is inversely proportional to the ambient temperature. With the increase of ambient temperature, the droplet microburst time is advanced, and the the intensity of microbursts increases, and the earliest droplet microburst time is 0.21 s·mm-2,the shortest life is 0.79 s·mm-2 and the maximum micro-explosion intensity is 0.97 at 673 K. With the increase of the initial droplet volume, the microburst generation time is delayed, and the fluctuating evaporation time is generally shortened, with the 2.0 μL microburst moment being 0.85 s·mm-2 at the latest, and the shortest duration being 0.19 s·mm-2, then the micro-explosion pattern shifts from edge micro-explosion to center micro-explosion.
