Structure of Burning n-hexane Droplet by Moiré Deflectometry

Abstract

An experimental study of the flame zone around an n-hexane fuel droplet burning in air is presented here. The results are compared with the burning characteristics of a methanol droplet. The basic principle of Moiré Deflectometry system which was employed to study the burning behavior of the droplet diffusion flame is explained. The temperature results are presented in the form of radial graphs and isotherms.

Keywords:

• Droplet burning
