A combined theoretical and practical study of the burner device parameters has been performed. The flow characteristic of the fuel supply system has been determined. Aerodynamic studies of the burner device characteristics have been conducted, axial velocity fields have been constructed, and critical parameters of the air supply unit design have been identified. The temperatures of in-chamber processes have been experimentally determined. A mathematical model of chemical reactions of the torch has been developed, and the dependence of diesel fuel toxicity on the excess air coefficient has been constructed. The effect of water vapor on the burner device operation has been determined.

A program for computer simulation of atomization of liquid fuels has been developed. A special calibrating experiment was carried out in a gravitational field. Verification of the computer model with experimental data is carried out, the correctness of simulation modeling is determined by the convergence of the results of static generalization. Tests of a model sample of the burner device were carried out, confirming the adequacy of computer simulation.
