Characterization of a new counterflow burner and operation with vaporized liquid heptane
Abstract
A characterization of counter-flow nonpremixed flames was performed using stereo particle image velocimetry (SPIV) to measure the velocity field at multiple planes. The SPIV measurements were performed in methane flames. Additionally, a liquid fuel vaporization system was created to allow the use of fuels naturally at a liquid state to be used undiluted in a counter-flow burner. The system was tested with n-heptane. The system refinement process and n-heptane flame pictures are presented.
