Source abstract

Abstract This paper describes the measurement of flame speed by means of the flat flame formed downstream of a cooled porous plate through which flows a mixture of propane and air. A flat flame has been stabilized over a wide range of mixture ratios and with flame speeds ranging between 4 and 38 cm/s; the adiabatic flame speeds are obtained by extrapolation. Good agreement is obtained with the results of other investigators as to the effect of temperature on flame speed. Cellular flames are observed in rich, weak and stoichiometric mixtures; cell size varies both with mixture ratio and heat-extraction rate.
