Experimental results on the effects of inert diluents on the flame structure and soot concentration of burning airblast atomized liquid sprays are presented. A petroleum-derived liquid (No. 2 oil), a shale-derived liquid (DFM), and two samples of coal-derived liquids (SRC-II) were used as fuels. Air, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen were used as the atomizing gas. The results indicate the use of diluents in the atomizing stream, although decreased soot formation rate, does not affect its liberation from the flame significantly.
