- Abstract
- Measurements of concentrations of major gas species in laminar diffusion flames burning mixtures of CH4 and C2H2 in air are reported. The results are interpreted in terms of the laminar flamelet concept. Two methods of estimating the state relationships of fuel mixtures were evaluated. Overall, a mixing rule that utilizes the information concerning the state relationships of the individual fuels provides better estimates of species concentrations in flames burning fuel mixtures than the generalized state relationships.
