An investigation was conducted to study wick combustion of Li and SF6. A single-line laser induced fluorescence thermometry with Li2 as fluorescence species was developed. Wick combustion of Li and SF6 was conducted in vacuum chamber at sub-atmospheric pressures. The combustion results in a bright pinkish flame. Emission spectra shoe that the flame luminosity is dominated by the resonance-emission line of Li atoms. On analysis, a conserved scalar approach was ...
An experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted to study the wick combustion of Lithium and Sulfur hexafluoride. A single-line laser induced fluorescence thermometry with Li2 as fluorescence species was developed. The calibration experiments yielded promising results; refinements, however, are needed before the technique can be applied to combustion flame measurements. Wick combustion of ethanol and hexane in air as well as Li and SF6 was conducted in a vacuum chamber ...
