The Fiber Supported Droplet
Combustion Investigation 3 (FSDC-3) is a combustion experiment whose
purpose is to investigate the combustion of single droplets in either quiescent or slow forced
flow conditions. The results from the FSDC-3 investigation will offer fundamental insight into
the dynamics of multi-component combustion in quiescent and forced flow conditions, as well as
in formation and effects of soot. These data will help verify existing models, and will allow
for improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved space craft fire safety through
improved understanding of combustion processes.
The purpose of this test was to measure the acoustic emission levels of FSDC-3 for purposes of
comparison with the noise emission limits Microgravity Glovebox experiments.
