Abstract
We study the mathematical evolution of a liquid fuel droplet inside a vessel. In particular, we analyze the evolution of the droplet radius on a finite time interval. The model problem involves an hyperbolic system coupled with the pressure and velocity of the surrounding gas. Existence of bounded solutions for the mass fraction of the liquid, submitted to nonlinear constraints, is shown. Numerical simulations are given, in agreement with known physical experiments.
