Burning Characteristics of Azeotropic Binary Blended Fuel Pool Fire

A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the burning characteristics of blended fuel pool fires. The azeotropic binary mixtures blended by ethanol and n-Heptane were selected as blended fuel in experiment. The fuel temperature, fire behaviors, burning rate and flame radiation were recorded in experiments. The result show that azeotropism play an important role in the burning process, the fuel temperature was decrease and the burning rate was increased. The flame radiant fraction of azeotrope has proportional relation with the radiation faction of component.
