Experimental investigation of soot formation processes during combustion of an overenriched oxygen–methane mixture

The article describes the experimental equipment, measurement and recording systems, and methods for conducting experimental studies of the features of soot formation during combustion of an overenriched oxygen–methane mixture in a two-zone model gas generator with a ratio of component contents in the range of $0.4$–$1.0$. Using visualization of the in-chamber process in the second zone of a gas generator with digital color video filming and photoresistance recording of the radiation intensity of the combustion products, the conditions under which soot formation occurs are determined.
