The laminar combustion characteristics of chlorella oil and its blends with RP-3 kerosene were examined at initial pressure of 0.1 MPa
initial temperature of 450 K and equivalence range of 0.8-1.2 conditions. The results showed that with the increase of equivalence ratio
the ignition delay period of chlorella oil decreased and the stretched flame speed increased. Compared with RP-3 kerosene
the peak value of unstretched flame speed of chlorella oil was more shifted to the region of rich mixture
and the unstretched flame speed of chlorella oil was more sensitive to equivalence ratio. It was observed that with the increase of equivalence ratio
the unstretched flame speed of chlorella oil varied significantly. With the increase of chlorella oil addition
the peak value of unstretched flame speed shifted to right
the peak unstretched flame speed of the mixed fuel with 50% chlorella oil and 50% RP-3 appeared near the equivalence ratio of 1.4. It was found that compared with chorella oil and RP-3 single fuel
the Marksein length of the mixed fuel was more larger
indicating the combustion of the mixture with chlorella oil and RP-3 is more stable.
