1. Diluting heptane with iso-butanol reduces the overall sooting propensity, the burning rate, and the ratio between the flame and droplet diameters. 2. All heptane/iso-butanol blends have linear burning rates. Burning rates vary non-linearly between compositions. 3.Comparison with detailed numerical model is in progress.
