Abstract

Different parameters of fuel atomization can influence the intensity of thermal radiation of the liquid fuel flame. Investigations which were carried out by the authors proved that the fuel consumption required for heating up the charge in the furnace can be reduced when using appropriate atomization of the fuel. That effect depends mainly on the temperature level within the furnace, and is more visible for higher temperatures.
