Abstract

Experiments have been performed to examine how the fuel spray combustion is affected by electro-magnetic wave around 1200cm-1 of wave number and 0.90 of spectral emissivity which belongs to the regime of infrared ray. Particularly, experimental study will be focused on the combustion of single fuel droplets as being characteristics of spray combustion. The fuels used for this study are n-heptane, benzene and ethanol. The experimental data indicate that such electro-magnetic wave has an ability to accelerate the combustion rate of fuel droplets. This means that such electro-magnetic wave may be very effective to accelerate the burning rate of spray combustion. © 2007 Combustion Institute. All Rights Reserved.
