Cool Flames Investigation

Evidence proximity, not a safety rating. This page describes what was tested and where each value comes from.
Where CFI’s runs sit in condition space, in the Atlas chart window. Other investigations’ runs in this regime are dimmed.
87 of 87 runs drawn.
As written in the PSI record:
The objectives of this investigation are to: 1) Examine the combustion behavior of n-dodecane and mixtures of n-dodecane/iso-dodecane at pressures ranging from 0.25 atm to 5 atm. 2) Analyze the effects of helium dilution on cool flame behavior. 3) Examine the behavior of combustion characteristics. 4) Investigate the relationship between droplet size, pressure, and flame extinction, and (5) understand the consequence of soot formation during cool flame combustion.
Computed from the 87 run rows below: what varied, what was held constant, and what was never recorded.
| Axis | State | Range | Basis | Recorded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O₂ | varied | 17.0–21.0 % · 2 levels | measured | 87/87 |
| Pressure | varied | 50.7–506.6 kPa · 7 levels | nominal (stated, not measured) | 87/87 |
| Flow | not recorded | no flow column in the PSI table | not recorded | 0/87 |
87 of 87 runs record both ambient O₂ and pressure and are plotted.
