Illuminating flares are typically made from a mixture of |
|
magnesium, sodium nitrate, and a binder. Light is emitted |
|
from these flares at a luminous efficiency of about |
|
50,000 candle-seconds/gram. To satisfy the continuing |
|
need to generate light more efficiently, the specific |
|
objective of this work is directed toward determining the |
|
mechanisms by which light is emitted from illuminating |
|
flames, the new knowledge providing the basis for future |
|
improvements. The approach being taken is to study |
|
emission spectra of illuminating flames tested at various |
|
pressures and with different formulas. The aim of these |
|
studies is to relate the experimental observations to |
|
some set of parameters which characterizes the state of |
|
the flame. Theoretical models and prediction equations |
|
are being developed which predict the flare output based |
|
on knowledge of the flare formula, flare size, and |
|
ambient pressure. |
