Soot Formation Behind a Bluff Body Burner
Abstract
The objective of this study was to obtain information on the effects of fuel composition, flame structure on soot formation in a laboratory combustor with turbulent, recirculating flow conditions. Data is to provide a data base on soot formation mechanisms for model development or validation. The report focused on using nonintrusive measurement techniques in turbulent flames without disturbing the flow fields, Particle sizing and population distribution were measured by scattered light intensity ratioing techniques, local flame velocity was measured via laser doppler velocimetry, and temperature measurements were made using chrome-Alumel thermo couple probes. Soot formation, Optical particle sizing, Flame structure.
