Abstract: The emulsified behaviors in the process of preparing methanol-diesel emulsified fuel are investigated by the application of an impinging stream-rotating packed bed (IS-RPB). The emulsified processes are composed of the combinations of initial emulsification of impinging stream process, intensified emulsification of IS-RPB and perfect emulsification of back-splashing and atomization to complete the entire emulsified process through the analysis of force posed on all fluid particles in IS-RPB. The existence of the three emulsified processes is proved using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The turbulent kinetic energy and velocity vector of the three emulsified processes using the CFD simulations were analyzed logically, which proved the existence of the three emulsified processes. Based on the analysis and CFD simulations, the properties of stabilization, dispersion, micro-mixing and power consumption performance were compared under the IS-RPB and high speed stirrer, which further prove the practicability and advancement of this technology for methanol-diesel emulsified fuel.
