- Abstract
- This paper describes a study of the application of the burner method to the determination of the velocity of propagation of flame relative to mixtures with air of various combustible gases. Observations have been made on the effect of varying the size of the burner port, of changing the velocity of flow of the mixture from the burner, of changing the composition of the mixture, and of different methods of measuring the flame and computing the result. All of these factors relate to problems of gas utilization. The apparatus andprocedure are described in detail. The relationships developed between the size and shape of the flame surface as related to the diameter of the burner port and the composition of the mixture lead.
