Parametric Control of Oxyacetylene Flame Profile

Article Preview

Abstract:

Oxyacetylene flame heights which were obtained through representation from a number of camera shots were compared from those estimated from empirical correlations for determining the flame height based on the heat release rate (Q) and flame base diameter (D). Pressure of gas mixtures are purposely changed to obtained a varying flow rate with the flame set to neutral during each routine. It is found that operating conditions like Reynolds number and flow rate influences the profile of the combustion flame.
