The objective of this project is to provide detailed information on methods of minimizing soot formation during synthetic liquid fuel combustion under conditions which minimize fuel nitrogen conversion to nitric oxide. The program consists of two tasks. The purpose of the first task, Fuel Screening Studies, is to investigate the impact of fuel properties on particulate production, to establish the importance of droplet size and examine atomizer effects, and to develop techniques for surrogate fuels productions. In the second task, Flame Studies, the fundamental details of soot formation from synfuel droplet combustion will be investigated in variable slip velocity configurations. This present report describes technical progress during the first three months of the program effort (October-December 1980). During this initial period, attention has focused on the definition of the different experimental efforts and on the design and construction of the required hardware. Aspects of this work are discussed.
