Plasma Torch Atomizer-Igniter for Supersonic Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels

To realize supersonic combustion of hydrocarbons, an effective atomizer-igniter combination with the capabilities of fuel preheating, atomization, penetration, mixing, ignition and flameholding is desired. An original design concept incorporating these capabilities was built and tested at Virginia T...
