Using In Situ Measurements to Experimentally Characterize TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticle Synthesis in a Turbulent Isopropyl Alcohol Flame

The objective of the present work is to show the potential of in situ measurements for the investigation of nanoparticles production in turbulent spray flames. This is achieved by considering multiple diagnostics to characterize the liquid break-up, the reactive flow and the particles production in...
