Spray ignition represents a critical process in numerous propulsion and energy conversion devices. The combustion of single droplet is low cost utilization and an effective analysis method for fuel characterization based on its properties. Nowadays, many investigations had been done in single droplet combustion like free falling droplet, suspended droplet in normal gravity and microgravity. A review is presented of recent developments of the combustion of single droplets with discussion and future work in the field. This paper reviews the finding in the literature up to now in this evolving field specifically the experiment detail and the observation area. Moreover, it highlights the prospect experimental that can extend to explore for further research.
