Abstract

A high pressure vessel and diffusion burner (HPVB) were designed, constructed and integrated with an evaporation system, to enable laminar flames studies of gaseous and vaporized liquid fuels. This experimental setup is designed to offer ample optical accessibility for laser diagnostics techniques; its capabilities and specifications are described. Soot volume fraction measurements are performed with line-of-sight attenuation (LOSA) and validated using data of ethylene flames from literature. The first measurements of a vaporized liquid fuel (n-heptane) are reported. A stable laminar n-heptane flame is achieved with a maximum standard deviation in soot volume fraction of 0.04 ppm.
