Impacts of oxidant characteristics on the ignition of n-propanol-air hydrothermal flames in supercritical water

Hydrothermal flame is produced in an aqueous environment beyond the thermodynamic critical properties of water. It is an interface developed at the contact of oxidant and fuel in supercritical water and depends on the operating parameters. In-situ diffusion-limited hydrothermal flames were generated in a novel supercritical flame reactor designed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at Glenn Research Center to investigate...
