- Abstract
- The studies of flames in the Ijmuiden tunnel furnaces have two main objectives. The first is to supply data to the furnace designer and combustion engineer in order to promote the design of more efficient combustion appliances. The second is to obtain more fundamental information which will lead to a better understanding of the combustion phenomena and ultimately to a more efficient control of flame characteristics. Measuring instruments have played a decisive rule in these studies of flames and ever since the formation of the International Flame Research Foundation considerable attention has been given to the design and development of instruments and measuring techniques. Many of the instruments initially developed at Ijmuiden have become standard in research institutes and industries where experiments are carried out on industrial size flames.
