An Argon-Sheathed Premixed Oxygen-Hydrogen Burner for Fundamental Studies

Abstract

A laminar flow premixed oxygen-hydrogen slot burner has been designed and constructed. The design allows operation over a wide variety of oxygen-hydrogen mixtures without flashback. One of the key design criteria was ease of machining, a feature that has resulted in considerable flexibility in the dimensions of the slots and the positioning of the sheath slots relative to the flame slot. The flame produced shows high stability and distinct regions which make it ideal for fundamental combustion diagnostic studies.
