A Burning Rate Emulator (BRE) for study of condensed fuel burning in microgravity

The Burning Rate Emulator (BRE) is a gas-fueled burner that emulates the burning of real condensed phase fuels. This is accomplished by matching four fundamental properties: heat of gasification, heat of combustion, surface vaporization temperature, and smoke point. Previous research has confirmed the BRE technique in normal gravity. The aim of the current study is to establish immediate sustained burning in a calm microgravity environment. This...
