Soot formation, spray characteristics, and structure of jet spray flames under high pressure

Coaxial jet spray flames of kerosene and oxygen are experimentally studied over a pressure range of 0.1–1.0 MPa to determine the relationship between flame structure, droplet behavior, and soot formation region, which varies with changes in pressure. The direct images and chemiluminescence spectra show that the spray flames have three regions: the blue flame region, which has a peak of CH* and C 2 * radical chemiluminescence, luminous flame...
