Abstract
This study is intended to understand flame behavior of the pool fire. Liquid fuels were acetone, methanol, hexane and heptane which are used in many industries. Diameter of vessel was varied from 50 mm to 400 mm and the vessel was made by stainless steel and copper. Combustion time, temperature of vessel wall and heat flux of flame were measured, and flame behavior was visualized with video camera. Based on the experiment, it was found that the burning velocity and flame height was increased according to increase of vessel diameter, and vortex shedding frequency was inverse proportion to vessel diameter. And the characteristics of pool fire were affected by physical and chemical properties of liquid fuel and the vessel materials.
