Abstract: 
We consider the question of increasing of paraffin based fuel regression rate. The hypothesis about dependence of these
values from the change of chains conformation on surface of melt layer is advanced and use of magnetic field at the preparation of fuel charge is proposed. We conclude that a static magnetic field allows to stabilization of transfer droplets from paraffinic melt to combustions zone.
Keywords: magnetic field, paraffin based fuel, regression rate coefficient
