Experimental investigation of the combustion of crude glycerol droplets

The objectives of the work are, first, to determine the combustion characteristics of crude glycerol, a by-product of the synthesis of biodiesel and, second, to systematically investigate the relationship between the behaviors observed and the presence of different components. With that purpose, the combustion of droplets of crude glycerol was studied in a drop tube facility and compared with different blends of pure glycerol with water, alcohol...
