Abstract Of the hazardous organic wastes produced in the United States, about 75% are liquids or dissolved in liquids. Hazardous compounds that are not completely destroyed when treated in this way, or any hazardous products of incomplete combustion (PICs) that are produced and not destroyed, will be either emitted into the atmosphere as a gas or aerosol or captured in the solid residue for subsequent disposal. The paper gives results of measurements of the trajectory and incineration efficiency of individual droplet streams of a fuel mixture injected into a swirling gas turbulent diffusion flame, as a function of droplet size, droplet velocity, interdroplet spacing, and droplet injection angle. Additional experiments were performed in a laminar flow flat flame burner to evaluate the predictive capabilities of a droplet stream burning model, simplified by assuming infinitely fast flame chemistry and by utilizing measured temperature and velocity fields. It was found that use of a measured burning rate parameter significantly improved model predictions. Destruction of these droplets appears to limit overall incineration efficiency.
