Combustion of a Low-Volatility Fuel in a Turbojet Combustion Chamber—Effects of Fuel Vaporization

Abstract

Various degrees of vaporization of a typical diesel fuel were obtained by varying the temperature of the oil supplied to the turbojet combustion chamber. Experimental data showing the effect of fuel vaporization on combustion efficiency, flame length, and flame temperature, are presented as well as flame temperature-distance data for the combustion chamber.
