Abstract
This paper presents studies on the influence of the nozzle tilt angle on the on the thermal radiation generated by diffusion jet flame. Analysis was limited to the nozzle tilt angle, distance and height of the heat flux measurement, and nozzle diameter. The studies were conducted for three different nozzle tilt angles of 0o, 45o and 90o, three different distances 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm, six different heights 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm and 60 cm, and two different nozzle diameters 17 mm and 11 mm. The thermal radiation intensity increased with the distance and height of measurements. The variation of horizontal and vertical jet flame was found to follow a linear equation. The studies also included investigation of flame shapes influence on the thermal radiation. The obtained results are presented in a graphical and tabular form. Based on the analysis of results the conclusion are established, important not only for the theoretical considerations but also in practice, especially in the context of immediate ignition on Liquefied Petroleum Gas as fuel for household leakage.
