Laminar diffusion flames under micro-gravity conditions
Abstract
Laminar methane and propane gas-jet diffusion flames have been theoretically and experimentally studied at NASA-Lewis under microgravity conditions. It is noted that laminar diffusion flames are strongly affected by the combined effects of kinetics, radiation, and such transient phenomena as flame ignition, stabilization, and extinction. Observations on the distinctive nature of the flame color and luminosity parameters in microgravity are presented, and flame behavior under transient, high-deceleration rates is discussed. Test hardware and instrumentation design are described.
