Combustion of straight algae oil in a swirl-stabilized burner using a novel twin-fluid injector

•The study characterizes properties of algae oil (AO), a biodiesel source oil.•A novel swirl burst (SB) injector is used to enable combustion of straight AO.•Effects of equivalence ratio (ER) and atomizing air-to-liquid ratio are studied.•Stable and clean premixed flames of non-preheated AO are at E...
