Description
In these systems droplets in the spray often evaporate and burn in an ambient at pressures and temperatures well above the critical state of the fuel. However there is very little fundamental information available to understand the combustion of liquid fuels at elevated pressures. The microgravity environment achieved in a drop tower facility provides the opportunity to reveal the fundamental information about liquid fuel combustion at high pressures that is not currently available. High pressure combustion research at low gravity has tremendous potential to be applied to a wide range of terrestrial applications as more fundamental combustion physics can be revealed when the added complication of gravity is eliminated. The outcome of the project will be new insights on how liquid fuels combust in environments similar to practical engines and providing quantitative results for guiding advanced engine designs. Experimental results obtained in this proposed work will be a valuable database for the research community for developing validating and optimizing numerical models. This work is aligned with NASA s research interests of physical science research in combustion science area. IT is also consistent with recent research proprieties of high-pressure combustion in glenn research center.
