It is shown that the applied field can both increase and decrease the fuel mass burning rate depending on the field polarity (direction) and the fuel type. The hysteresis phenomena – the flame lift-off from the droplet and the droplet coverage with flame – and their dependence on the field properties, are described.</p> ER -
