COMBUSTION: STOICHIOMETRY AND FLAME TEMPERATURE



Abstract

The combustion of a fuel may take place under conditions in which the fuel is pre-mixed with the oxidizer or those in which the oxidizer and the fuel mix by diffusion at the time of combustion. These different experimental conditions result in different flame structures. Measurements are to be made to determine the flame temperature, the temperature distribution, and flame structure for both pre-mixed and diffusion flames as a function of the fuel /air ratio, flow rate, and inert diluent content.
