Gas temperature measurements have been completed in a lifted propane flame with and without droplets issuing from a contoured nozzle at several radial stations in the developing region of the jet. A general decrease in the average gas temperature was observed in the flame when the droplets were introduced, due to local evaporative cooling effects. Rms temperature profiles with two local extremes at either side of the average reaction zone were observed for 5 < x/D < 20 in the gaseous flame. Further downstream along the centerline, this region disappeared because the jet's fuel-rich, central core ceased to exist. The droplets prolonged the axial region where these double-maxima rms temperature profiles existed, due to an extension of the flame core. A comparison of power spectral densities measured with and without the droplets suggests that the droplets substantially changed to flow field in the core region, to the point of inhibiting a complex vortical structure existent in the gaseous flame.
