摘要：

Experimental observations of the combustion of sooting fuel droplets, performed in a drop tower to create a low gravity environment, are reported. Free n-heptane droplets and suspended droplets of heptane, monochloroalkanes, and mixtures of monochloro-octane and heptane were studied. Initial droplet diameters ranged from 0.4 to 1.1 mm. The results suggest that soot may influence droplet vaporization rates. Spherical symmetry of the flame allowed for extended observation of soot agglomerates inside the droplet flame. Effects of slight convective flows were also observed, both through variations of natural convection around the suspended droplets and through variations in the drift velocities of the unsupported droplets. Slight convective flows around the suspended droplets reduced flame luminosity as well as soot accumulation inside the flame and increased droplet vaporization rates. Mixing monochloro-octane with n-heptane demonstrated the effectiveness of n-heptane in reducing soot emissions from the flames of the chlorinated fuels. Finally, trends of initial droplet diameter with burning rate were observed and may be linked to the effect of droplet size upon soot formation inside the flame.
