Jadhav, Anish, authorWindom, Bret C., author2017-11-132017-11-132017https://hdl.handle.net/10217/184894An experimental validation study of the flame extinction characteristics of large hydrocarbon fuels is carried out. A counterflow flame burner combined with a liquid fuel vaporization system is utilized at a reduced pressure of 0.84 atm to measure the diffusion flame global extinction strain rate of liquid fuels as a function of fuel dilution. A numerical study is also employed using CHEMKIN to calculate the global extinction strain rate of hydrocarbon fuels, including n-heptane, n-decane, and toluene. Flame extinction measurements of the blended fuels are compared to global flame extinction predictions using a previously published radical index methodology.born digitalStudent workspostersengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
