The dominant chemical effect over the physical effect of enhanced mixing results in smaller size ratios promoting droplet hypergolic ignition.
“Although increasing Δ tends to enhance droplet mixing 25,57,63 and hence the exothermic liquid-phase reaction, which is crucial for droplet heating, vaporization, and combustion, the dominant chemical effect over its physical effect results in smaller size ratios that promote droplet hypergolic ignition.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
