Multi-component Drop Evaporation

In many engineering applications multi-component liquids are used in spray systems, just think of fuel sprays in internal combustion engines where the fuels (Diesel, gasoline or even biofuels) are blend of a large number of different hydrocarbons [1]. In those cases the species may have quite different volatilities and diffusivities as well as other thermo-physical characteristics and this may strongly influence the rates of heating and vaporisation of the spray droplets.
