Abstract
Combustion of heavy fuel droplet in microgravity was studied. The tested fuels were n-nonadecane and LCO. The external air flow velocity in the combustion chamber was 4.7cm/s. Laser extinction method has been used to measure droplet diameter and to visualize the soot distribution in the flame. Results showed that burning rate and soot volume increased with O_2concentration in the test of n-nonadecane. LCO combustion produced more soot than n-nonadecane and had lower burning rate than n-nonadecane in the same condition.
