Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Measurements of minimum ignition energy were performed on kerosene sprays injected into an air stream under conditions of atmospheric pressure and temperature. Optimum values of spark duration were used, with a spark gap adjusted to slightly exceed the quenching distance. Ignition was accomplished using capacitance sparks whose energy level could be varied in steps from 3 to 130 mJ. It is shown that the most important factor influencing minimum energy is fuel drop size, and that ignition performance is improved by an increase in spark energy.
