Mechanism of micro-explosion of water-in-oil emulsified fuel droplet

[Logic]

NB
This is interesting for people like pgfpro who actually swing spanners at engines
and/or
people who like reading science papers.
If you aren't willing or able to do at least one of the above; you're in the wrong place. Leave now!

This is interesting in that:

• The water in a fuel water emulsion 'explodes' into steam, atomizing the fuel better, resulting in better combustion etc.
• The required emulsion can probably be accomplished easily with a high speed stirrer or piezoelectric pond mister.
• I assume the cooling effects normally seen from water injection also apply, without the extra complexity.

(I haven't read them fully yet, so can offer much more of an opinion yet)

You can come back!
Seems to be a thing, with a quite a lot of YouTube content.
