Free-droplet vaporization experiments with n-tetradecane fuel were conducted during the fourth quarter. Experiments were performed in the temperature range 600 to 1200 C. Impulse-type droplet injection was used to minimize droplet-droplet interaction, ensure complete vaporization, and reduce sooting to a manageable level. The distribution of light pyrolysis products at temperatures less than 800 C was in agreement with the Rice-Kossiakoff radical chain mechanism for hydrocarbon pyrolysis. PAH compounds in the condensed decomposition products were rapidly identified by a retention index scheme. The PAH level in the condensate increased with extent of vaporization and decreased at the onset of sooting. 3 figures, 1 table.
