Aerosol Research

Aerosols research conducted by the Center has established functional relations between the operating conditions and the drop-size distributions of HTF aerosols and had developed predictive models to relate aerosol droplet sizes and formation distances to bulk pressures, temperatures, fluid properties, orifice sizes, and ambient conditions. Predictive correlations form this research will be useful to determine conditions at which HTFs can generate a large proportion of aerosol droplets in its transition range for enhanced flame propagation.
