Investigation of the Flame Stabilization Mechanism in Phase-Inhomogeneous Air—Fuel Mixtures

The mechanism of flame stabilization in phase-inhomogeneous air—fuel mixtures is considered. A method is proposed for refining the thermal theory of flame stabilization by taking into account the heat consumed for heating and evaporation liquid fuel in the ignition zone. An analytical dependence is obtained for the calculation of flaming out curves during the steady combustion of two-phase mixtures. Analysis of the experimental data shows their compliance with the laws of the calculated dependence.
