• Determine the effects of fuel type, burner diameter and coflow velocity on smoke point properties.
• Identify test conditions for closed- and open-tip smoke point behavior and resolve mechanisms of these transitions.
• Determine the effect of fuel type, burner diameter, and approach to the smoke point on luminous flame shapes.
• Develop and evaluate models of soot formation, luminous flame shapes and flame radiation.

Data to be obtained from SPICE include video of flames, digital photographs of flames, radiometer output, fuel flow velocity, fan voltage, and coflow air velocity.

The purpose of this test was to measure the acoustic emission levels of SPICE for purposes of comparison with the noise emission limits for Microgravity Glovebox experiments.
