A FLAT FLAME BURNER AS CALIBRATION SOURCE FOR COMBUSTION RESEARCH - TEMPERATURES AND SPECIES CONCENTRATIONS OF PREMIXED H-2 AIR FLAMES/

A commercially available flat flame burner with a sintered porous bron ze disk was used to stabilize premixed H-2/air flames at atmospheric p ressure. Temperatures for various stoichiometries, flow rates, and hei ghts above the burner disk have been measured by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering with an accuracy of approximate to 2.5%. The correspo nding exhaust gas compositions have been derived from equilibrium calc ulations. This burner together with the data presented in this article can be used for the verification or calibration of a variety of measu ring techniques in combustion research.
