Abstract: An experimental study was conducted on a chemically reacting liquid
round free jet. The Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique was adopted to
evaluate the mixing suppression of the jet into liquid streams. The jet
profiles were quantitatively evaluated for both the upstream region near the
transition point and the downstream region far away from the transition point,
and comparisons were conducted between the reacting and the non-reacting jet
cases. In the downstream region, the jet profiles for the two cases were found
to be quite different. It was concluded that the occurrence of a chemical
reaction affects the momentum diffusion of the jet in the downstream region,
which results in these differences.
