Ignition of binary mixture droplets by a propagating laminar flame

An experimental study was made of the ignition process of single droplets of binary mixtures subjected to a laminar flat flame propagating through a lean homogeneous propane/air mixture at constant pressure. Binary fuels consisting of n-hexane and n-hexadecane or n-dodecane, and benzene and n-hexadecane were tested. Water-emulsified liquids consisting of n-dodecane, and pure fuels like n-hexane, n-octane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane, were used...
