Sooting and disruption in spherically symmetrical combustion of decane droplets in airThe paper presents the results of experiments on the burning of individual 1-2 mm decane droplets in air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The NASA Lewis 2.2 s drop tower was used as well as a newly designed droplet-combustion apparatus that promotes nearly spherically symmetrical combustion. Unanticipated disruptions related to sooting behavior were encountered.
