- Abstract
- Wide-angle radiometer measurements of total radiant emission and scanning-slit-radiometer measurements of the vertical distribution of radiant emission, were performed on 0.38-m-wide slot-burner flames adjacent to a 2.2-m-high water-cooled wall. Comparison measurements were performed onfree-burning slot-burner flames and on jet flames. Methane, ethane, ethylene and propylene were used as fuels, with total heat-release rates, ranging from about 10 to 60 kW.
