The effect of mixture ratio on combustion characteristics of n-propyl alcohol–water binary mixture

The combustion characteristics of n-propyl alcohol–water blended fuel with various mixture ratios were investigated. A round pool with a diameter of 30 cm was employed. Mass loss rate, temperature profiles at flame centerline, and flame shape were recorded during the combustion process. A balance was employed to measure the fuel mass loss, and a digital video camera with the maximum capture rate of 25 frames per second was employed for flame...
