In situ Characterization of Soot Aggregates Produced by Burning Contaminated Liquid Fuels with Nuclear Waste Surrogate

Ebini, Raiya H.; Hubbard, Josh; Brown, Alexander L.; Wiemann, Dora K.; Settecerri, Taylor; Sorensen, Christopher

The motivation of this work was to complement other studies intended to enhance and update DOE-HDBK-3010-94 for hazard scenarios like nuclear waste fires. In this work, a uniquely designed combustion chamber was successfully integrated with a light scattering technique to characterize soot aggregates. The chamber design allowed for soot investigation within the flame as well as after soot left the incandescent flame region.
