This paper investigates the influence of concentration of boron nano-particles on the combustion behavior of Jet A1-based slurry droplets especially for high-particle loadings. The nanofuel was prepared using commercially available boron nano-particles. The particle loading ratio (by weight) was varied from 2.5 to 50%. Shadowgraphic visualization of the burning droplet and direct flame imaging was carried out to examine the burning characteristics of horizontally suspended slurry droplet. While for particle loading up to 20%, the droplet combustion was dominated by vigorous oscillations and micro-explosions, beyond 20% loading, significant differences in the combustion behavior were observed which are discussed. The normalized surface area plot supported the observations and depicted clear departure from classical model for droplet burning.
