- Abstract
- The luminous efficiency for the premixed flame of the cyanogen-oxygen-boron trichloride system is reported over a range of compositions and burner sizes. The maximum efficiency measured was 33,668 cd-sec/gm. This exceeds the value of 24,366 cd-sec/gm previously determined by the authors for the diffusion flame of this system. The composition yielding the maximum efficiency was found to be nearly the same for both types of flames. the efficiency is found to increase with burner diameter, rapidly at first,then more slowly. Results of computations of the theoretical adiabatic flame temperature and equilibrium composition are also reported over the entire range of compositions and their relation to be experimental data is discussed.
