Sooting Flame Behavior for a Droplet Combustion with Electrical Field under Microgravity

The sooting droplet combustion behavior under electrical fields is investigated with n octane fuel. The numerical simulation which includes the combustion gas, liquid fuel and soot particle is carried out and compared with experimental results obtained in the microgravity environmental. Flame de formation and burning rate constant are predicted and enhancement of evaporation is shown. The mechanism that n -octane sooting flame under electrical fields is evaporated than none electrical fields case is considered.
