Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted to examine
the effects of fuel-air ratios, fuel composition and smoke-suppressant
fuel additives on the sooting characteristics of
a T-63 combustor. Multiple wavelength light transmission and
two-angle light scattering measurements were used to measure
the mean soot diameter. Ferrocene, 12% Cerium Hex-Cem and
USLAD 2055 were found effective in reducing exhaust gas
opacity. Initial results were conflicting on the cause for
the reduced opacity.
