- Abstract
- An experimental study of the vaporization and combustion to single drops of kerosene and gasoline thickened with polyisobutylene is given. The drops were suspended at the outlet of the tube in which the flow was produced. The temperature was varied from 300 to 800 C, while the flow was equal to 3 m per sec. It is established that pulsations arise during vaporization and combustion. Brief periods of uniform combustion alternate with more or less intense flame bursts. The frequency and intensity of the pulsations increase with an increase in the polyisobutylene content. The time required for complete vaporization of drops of various diameters is determined, as well as the ignition delay time and the minimum ignition temperature.
