Experimental Study of Initial Diameter Effects on Convection-free Droplet Combustion in the Standard Atmosphere for n-Heptane, n-Octane, and n-Decane: International Space Station and Ground-based Experiments

Published: Jan 13, 2014
Abstract
A comprehensive investigation is reported on varying the initial droplet diameter (Do) over a wide range on the burning characteristics of three normal alkane fuels that are representative of components found in practical fuel systems. The droplet burning characteristics of n-heptane, n-octane and n-decane, were studied experimentally in a low gravity ambience to minimize the influence of convection and promote spherical droplet flames as well...
