Comparative study of the flame structure of the burning sprays of the emulsions of jet a fuel water water and methanol

Data are presented on the relative effects of emulsifying Jet A fuel with water and methanol on the flame properties of its sprays. Flame length, composition profiles, temperature profiles, flame radiation, emission of nitrogen oxides, and particulate concentration are studied. Results indicate that reductions of flame radiation, particulate concentration and nitrogen oxide emission can be achieved in both cases and water is more effective than methanol for causing those changes. 38 refs.
