ISS Droplet Combustion Experiments - Uncertainties in Droplet Sizes and Burning Rates

Methodologies are developed for evaluating uncertainties in droplet size measurements and burning rates for droplet combustion experiments that have been performed on the International Space Station. Different uncertainty sources are considered and propagated into the combined standard uncertainties via the Taylor series method. The local polynomial method is used to provide estimates of instantaneous burning rates. Results from analyses of...
