24 Formation Mechanism of Fuel Deposits Wet Condition No Big Impact on Rapid Development Overall Conclusions Enhanced Total Amount of Deposits Amount of Deposits B100, B20> DF Deposition Factors Impingement interval Hot surface temperature Fuel types Physical structure of deposits

25 Conclusions In this study, the results are summarized as follows; Overlapping of droplet evaporation lifetime and porous features of deposits are significant in producing wet condition. However, the wet condition did not give big impact on rapid development of deposits, but it enhanced total amount of deposits accumulated on hot surface. Bio-diesel fuel and bio-blended blended diesel fuel produce more deposits comparing with diesel fuel. Deposits development of Bio-blended diesel fuel showed combination behavior of bio- diesel fuel and diesel fuel. The factors that effect the fuel deposition are impingement interval, hot surface temperature, fuel type, and physical structure of deposits.
