The pool flame is a diffusion flame which stands on top of an evaporating volatile fuel. The vapors of the fuel mix with the ambient air results in a combustible fueloxidizer mixture which helps the flame to stand on the pool. The species involved in the combustion process have movement at certain rates which is difficult to observe and quantify. In this research work, an attempt is made to bring a new method to quantify the flow field of the diffusion pool flame by tracking the species. Few salts which easily dissolve in fuel and does not involve in the thermochemical process are used in the research work and the chemiluminescence of the salt in the flame is tracked and correlated with the outer flow field of the flame using Shadowgraph results. The chemiluminescence due to nickel chloride and copper sulfate in pool flame describes the dynamics of combustion species. Keywords— Pool flame, chemiluminescence, vortex shedding, shadowgraph, alcohols.
