- Abstract
- The ignition of a liquid fuel under high intensity radiation was studied experimentally to obtain a fundamental understanding of the ignition mechanism and to aid in the selection of design improvments to minimize hazards of unwanted fires. The experiments were conducted using a CW CO2 laser with incident fluxes from 1000 to 5000 W/cm(2) and n-decane as the flammable liquid.
