Abstract
Ion concentrations in a number of flames have been measured using a symmetrical double Longmuir probe method in an attempt to determine the effect of temperature differences on the ion concentration. The ionic concentrations seemed to depend more on the nature of the inert gas than on the adiabatic flame temperature. A paper is being prepared on the results of the investigation, copies of which will be forwarded when available.
