Title: Chemical effects in vaporizing synthetic fuels. Second quarterly report, 1 November 1981-31 January 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5570670

Free droplet vaporization experiments with SRC-II middle distillate fuel were initiated during the second quarter. The droplet furnace was first calibrated using No. 2 home heating oil. Satisfactory performance of the injection system and sampling probe was demonstrated prior to conducting experiments with SRC-II. Initial experiments with SRC-II were performed at a furnace temperature of 1000/sup 0/C. The extent of vaporization was approximately 50% at the furnace midpoint. Heavy sooting occurred, and light gas pyrolysis products accounted for 1.7% of the fuel mass.
