Combustion characteristics of butanol isomers in multiphase droplet configurations

This study reports results of experiments on the isolated droplet burning characteristics of butanol isomers (n-, iso-, sec-, and tert-) under standard atmosphere conditions in an environment that promotes spherical combustion. The data are compared with predictions from a detailed numerical model (DNM) that incorporates complex combustion chemistry, radiative heat transfer, temperature dependent variable fluid properties, and unsteady gas and...
